Day 34- Our first semi monster headwind!

Hello! Last night we crashed at the campsite from hell (kinda not really). Erie, Kansas. City park in a concreted gazebo, with a fly/mosquito convention, the brightest lights in the world, fireworks all over, and lovely sounding trains that passed by every hour. After a solid 5 hours of sleep we headed out to bike 60 miles to Toronto, Kansas where we planned on staying in the lovely Jean Marie's house- a host that was recommended to us by a eastbound cyclist for her amazing hospitality. 

Flat for most of the morning. Had our second breakfast at a McDonalds about 20 miles in. Have eaten more McDonalds this tour than my whole life probably. Wee! 

About an hour after breakfast part 2 we got to ride in our first infamous Kansas headwind. No trees, wind from every direction, with a extra side of a light rain. Averaged about 10mph heading through it pedaling as hard as we could.

 Can't imagine doing that for a whole day which is whyyyy we are gonna experiment with leaving hopefully by 6:30 tomorrow so we can beat the heat and headwinds for our 96 mile day to Newton, Kansas. Our longest day by over 25 miles. Leggooooooo. To bed by 7:30!
