Postcards from Bike Across Kansas

Thursday, June 10, 2004

Postcards from Bike Across Kansas are at the Lawrence Journal-World web site:

THURSDAY
Bike Across Kansas cyclists have ridden through 90 degree heat with 40 mph winds, and Wednesday we got rain.

East of Lincoln, a gentle but steady rain soaked riders, strung out along Kansas Highway 18 pedaling east to Chapman.

"I still prefer this to yesterday," said Shirley Hitt, Lecompton, recalling Tuesday's strong headwind and steep hills.

"This is the best natural cooler you can have." said Hitt's husband, Doug, of the refreshing rain.

Cyclists have completed 331 miles of the 489-mile trip and will take off for St. Marys this morning. Forecast calls for a plague of locusts.
