BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE KANSAS SIDE!! BREAK ON THROUGH!

Greetings jolly folks!

   This blog post is coming to you from Ulysses, Kansas! Today was a pretty easy day, indeed, it was a leisure day!
   We awoke in the basement of Steve's straw bail adobe house after a wonderful night of rest! Complete with a breakfast of pancakes (if you ask, maybe ill let out his pancake secret recipe!) and sunny-side up eggs! Washed it all down with a good, hot cup of jo and we were ready to take off for Kansas!
   The gang threw the bikes into Steve's old pick-up truck so he could take us back down his dirt road to highway 160. Man-o-man, if you thought you would be the first rider to join us for a little while, your wrong. Steve threw his old Centurion road bike in the bed of the pick-up so he could catch the first morning miles of our journey into Kansas!
  Once on the road, it was only a few seconds before the bikes were unloaded and all 4 of us were t/ires on the pavement and feet in the pedals ready to go. It was probably just a minute of biking before we reached the Kansas/Colorado border, also the Central Time Zone! Hello home time! Steve road with us all the way to Mantel Kansas, which was about 20 miles into our morning. He said that while biking with us, he felt he could bike forever. That the arthritis in his knees he didn't even pay attention too and that after years of biking, this was his best ride he'd ever been on! 
   We stopped at the first stop sign in Mantel and all set our bikes down for a goodbye. Steve said a prayer for us and after some hugs, he hopped up on his bike for the ride back to his pick-up. Steve, we cannot thank you and your family enough! Your family is inspirational, if they want something, they don't wait for it. Instead, they find a way to create their dreams, the same as they've done with their adobe house! Your an inspiration to us and it was the best stay we've had! It was sad to say goodbye, but I at least I'll be back (Joey) in a few years, if not just to see how big your adobe mansion will get! Can't seem to say thanks enough, so thanks! 
Doner family thank you for the stories, the food, and the hospitality. You were all great! Ill be back to see the stars and to get a long board from Drew. Next time ill do the cooking (Nate)!
   After Steve left us, it was only another 21 miles to Ulysses, our stop for the day. It was the flattest riding our route said we would see and I can guarantee that it was the flattest riding we would see. Rolled into Ulysses around 10ish, and stopped at the Ole Mc D's. Chatted some folks up and found out about a campground south east of town. Strolling on down to the campground; Matt found out that gravel and weighted down road bikes don't mix well. We talked to Dana at the Bentwood Golf course who hooked it up with a free place to stay. Thanks Dana! We dropped our gear under a tree and went to the playground. Jungle gym races and some shenanigans were had. Sonya was down at the playground with her grand kids whom we started to talk with. She called up the local news paper and told them about us. Michalynn Thryselius-English came down to take our picture and get our story for the Ulysses News. Sonya took off and while we were throwing a Frisbee around, came back with a surprise. Three foot long subs, soda, and chips from Subway. Delicious, thank you so much Sonya! 
   Now it's mid afternoon and we are all just hanging out in the clubhouse air conditioning watching Gone in 60 Seconds! As always, tell that Nick Wustruck to get a Donating! Don't forget to tell your boss, your uncle Tony, and your neighbor Shelly! Keep the peace with your enemies and have a cup of tea to cool yourself off at night! Thanks!
