Two days ago our friends, Willow and Kim, visited us in Ash Grove, Missouri. The small town offers a house and free pool access to cyclists so it was a really nice way to spend our last day in MO! Yesterday we had lunch at a well-known diner named Cooky's in Golden City before we crossed into Kansas. They had the best pie I've ever had in my life, and it's said to be the best in the country.
Kansas is, as expected, flat. We stayed in Pittsburg yesterday with our WarmShowers host, Alex. For some reason, the city and house reminded me of being back in Tallahassee, and for the first time this tour I found myself really missing home. Today's ride was really nice because it was overcast and not very windy. The flats are a lot of fun without headwinds. Kody got a computer for his bike so now we can better gauge our speed; we averaged 15 mph today! We are trying to get to Newton by July 4 so that we can celebrate and then take a break the next day. Hopefully the winds will be merciful...
