Today was another planned century in 100+ degree heat. Ugh... We started with a great breakfast provided to us by the American Legion of Hucthinson, Kansas. We got a later start then was scheduled because of breakfast but well worth it. We also got escourted out of town by the American Legion Road Guard motorcyle group. Very cool indeed.
Larry and I rode out with Paul and James who were riding our spare tandem. That was a lot of fun. Those guys are just fun to be around. Always having fun. I like fun. We were trading off turns at the front every mile like clock work. When we were riding thru the town of Newton we were met by more Road Guard motorcycles. They led us to the State Farm office in Newton where we were treated to a very good fruit salad medley. We had know idea we even had this stop, we thought we were just riding straight to lunch. I loved this stop. We sat and hung out with the fine folks of Newton for about an hour waiting for the rest of the group.
With such a long stop and all the long hot miles already this week Larry decided to pull the plug on todays ride at 35 miles. He is human. I thought that it was a very smart move. Take a break, recover and come back stronger the next day. Thanks Larry.
Larry spent the rest of the day helping Danelle with water stops for the fast group and I drove the bubble bus with Hunter and Alex. I had a great day helping everyone else. And again we had more riders completing their first century. Congrats to Brianna and Andrew.
