June 2nd Hesston to Big Bend, KS 96 miles!!!

This is what we see about every 8-10 miles or so

We pulled our longest mileage day so far! Yesterday we only rode 20 miles, as I was suffering a little case of food poisoning, and lets face it I'm not stopping on the side of the tree-less road every 5 minutes to take care of business. So we called it a day at 9:30 am and crashed the rest of the day. Then we decided to change up our route again, not cutting off any mileage, but going on some busier roads so we would avoid those long stretches with no services. It was fairly overcast and for the first time ever we had a little bit of tailwinds so we just kept going as far as possible. We actually wanted to stop in another town, as the weather started to turn nasty, but there was nowhere to stay so we made it another 12 miles into the town of Big Bend, KS. It's highly unlikely that we will ever ride this many miles again in a day, but it was good to get caught up.
