A routine day...if you can call riding a bicycle 107 miles routine. Kansas landscape changed from the wide open flat plains to landscape that reminded me very much of my home state of Indiana. I rode with Scott all day and he is overcoming his stomach issues and his new knee is feeling better such that he stood when climbing a hill. We also encountered some "roller" hills and I heard we will see countless rollers in Missouri. Rollers are rolling hills such that the downhill speed gets you about 75% up the hill of the next roller...and on and on. I'm NOT looking forward to them! The highlight of the day for me was stopping at a old-time restaurant in a tiny town about 15 miles from Topeka. I went in to get a chocolate milk...but I then saw their homemade pies! My large slice of cherry pie was delicious. Mike checked my chain today, and it was already worn out and time to be replaced. I will have a new chain when we start tomorrow morning....and enter Missouri at mile 59 of our ride tomorrow. Oh....one final item from today. At this morning's RAP meeting with all the riders before we departed for Topeka, Mike gave me silver spurs for my break away yesterday. And I was given the option to leave with the fast riders rather than leaving with the early departers. I declined the off since I am here only because of Scott, and so I stayed with the early departers. Maybe I'll change later.
