Pitsburg - Chanute
67 miles
4 hours and 48 minutes in the saddle
25.9 mph max speed
13.9 mph average speed
For a split second this morning we contemplated doing 120 miles today. Weather was favourable, cool with NNE winds, which is almost tailwinds for us. We changed our minds once we got on our bikes and felt that our muscles and bottoms were pretty sore from yesterday's ride.
Today's ride has been very pleasant, flat roads as far as the eye can see. Fields go on for ever and the roads seem to merge with the sky at the horizon. Today a pilot in a plane waved at us as he swooped down to spray a field. The fields here are so big that planes are used as an agricultural tool.
Tonight we are spending yet another night in a Super 8 motel. It is clean, cheap and convenient. We think we will get our supper from Walmart rather than the local Mexican. Neither of us can face another Burrito.
