Week #41 - 401 miles
Had a great time riding the Flint Hills Nature Trail with Jr. We left Osawatomie at 6am and headed west on the trail. It was dark until we got outside of Ottawa where we had a little detour on the trail. As we continued, I was amazed how tree covered the trail was. The wind was supposed to pick up later in the day so I was hoping we could get to Council Grove before it got very breezy. Out towards the west end of the trail there were a couple sections of open areas but for the most part we were sheltered from the wind. After a quick stop in Council Grove to refuel, we headed back. Having a cross-tailwind helped make the second half of the day go by quick. Only a couple time did we have much headwind to deal with. As the afternoon warmed up it was really nice to have the shaded areas to ride along. We actually saw quite a few other cyclists out there, which was really cool. Jr & I made the trip in just under 11 hours ride time and were only off the bike for about 45 minutes. Not bad for just a little Saturday ride.
