600 Miles--Denver to Kansas City
Our tour is over. We ended near Lawrence, KS, along Hwy. 24, 600 miles from Denver. We averaged 60 miles a day and would have made it to Pa. and my parents' at that pace. As we take the bicycle apart and prepare for a baby, I feel fortunate to have had the ten glorious days of biking that we did. Eastern Colorado and Kansas provided ideal roads, friendly towns, and glorious scenery. We'll call this year's tour the Gramma Billie High Plains Tour 2010. Beautiful, humble rural people...............wheat fields waiting to be harvested............and one-cafe towns. The day we left Quinter, Gramma Billie said to me, "I want to lie down in a corn field and listen to see if I can hear the stalks growing. When I was a girl, people used to say that you could hear them grow. I'm a-gonna lie down there one day and see for myself."
