UPDATES!

Alright, sorry I haven't updated in a long time, every computer we get to somehow would not let us upload our pictures to it, and we figured an update without pictures is pointless. So here they are. Since the last update, we have left Kentucky and gone through both Illinois (Hillinois) and Missouri (Misery). We are now in Pittsburg, Kansas. The Ozark Mountains were a trip, we actually had our worst day because of them- some 37 miles I believe. But all is well here in Kansas so far. When we left Kentucky, we got to take a ferry across the Ohio River into Illinois and soon after that we rode across the Mississippi River into Missouri. Sometime in Missouri, I believe the town was called Ellington, we were able to switch out our cassettes and chains with the new ones the guys at Shrewsbury Bicycles sent out to us- which really made a Huge difference when passing through the Ozarks. We have been meeting some of coolest people, all out here with a different story. Yesterday we met a 29 year old who is a recovering quadriplegic, who was once informed that he had a 1-in-1000 chance of ever feeding himself again, and is now out on the road in his custom road trike riding from California to Washington D.C. Both him and his mother have been having the time of their lives out here, and we can understand why. Seeing the country by bicycle, in our opinion, the best way to do it. Last night we were fortunate enough to find a Mexican restaurant after a 75 mile day into Kansas. After we ate ourselves in weight, we set out to find Lincoln City Park, which is the town's park in which touring cyclists can set up camp for the night. By the time we found the park it was dark out and kinda hard to navigate ourselves around so we settled for a spot amongst some trees. When we woke up, we realized that we pitched our tents on the Golf Course that sits near the town park. When we got out of our tents, there were golf carts, and lawn mowers all around, we found it pretty funny that we were just sprawled out with our tents and bikes all over their golf course. So that is that, nothing TOO exciting, but still having a ridiculously incredible time. Keep spreading the word about our ride, and check back for more updates!
