After the length and heat yesterday and our quiet prayers, this was a recovery day. Probably wouldn't have called a 100km ride a "recovery" three months ago but with the wind blowing 20mph from the south west and our route taking us 70km east and 30km south, this was an opportunity to let the wind help us for most of the day. The 30km south wasn't so much fun but that was a small price to pay for the benefit. The temperature stilled climbed to close to 100F but we were done soon after 1pm. When we got to Newton we visited the local bike shop run by James and Heather who are providing support to those mad Trans Am racers we previously mentioned. They had cold beer and whiskey which is pretty good for a bike shop ... After yesterday this was a 7 day. Another long day tomorrow so it may well be an early night and early start to try and miss the heat.

We didn't catch the name of the car driver today while we enjoyed a beer and some good conversation at River City Brewing Co in Wichita. Hope you all enjoy the IPA's and aren't too Girlie!! Have a safe ride and hope the weather gets better the farther east you travel!
