Day 31 July 9th
100.5 miles
Newton, Kansas
1,884.4 miles total
It's been one month on the road today and we have completed our first 100 mile ride in a day. We pulled into the city of Newton, Kansas tonight around 8pm, exhausted, yet still on the quest to find the city park where we could camp for free. After asking around at gas stations we had made it to the area where the park should have been, we found a fire station and asked them to just point our tired bodies/bicycles in the right direction. "Are you looking for a place to stay?" They asked us... and of course we were. They then took us into their beautiful station which has air conditioning, showers, tv, dinner and ice cream for desert. What more could we ask for?

Hi Rose,
As I read your blog I can still see that little girl in a leotard taking dance class with Steph, man have you grown up!! I am so proud of what you are doing. Will keep reading and will work out how to connect once you hit Colorado!! I want you two to think about food that you are missing on the road.....maybe we can give you a bit of comfort food to recharge the body!
hugs,
Sue Harbour

p.s. I was just forced to create a blog in order to leave this comment. oh man.
Rose,
I hear you hit Colorado, welcome to the heat!! Should hit over 100 today on the front range. Make sure you two drink lots, and I mean lots of water. It helps with the altitude. We need to talk about where you are so we can hook up and meet. Will you be near Fort Collins, if not how about Breckenridge? Let me know your route and a rough time line. Enjoy the Rocky Mountains we hiked to Flat top yesterday and it was spectacular!! 360 degrees of mountains. Look forward to seeing you. Sue Harbour
