3:45 start time allowed us to enjoy 65 degree temperature this morning. We had our fastest day at 13 mph. The route was through mostly prairie. Kansas so far has not shown me as much corn as I was expecting. When we didn't see any cows we were perplexed until we realized we were riding through Quivira National Wildlife Refuge. By the time we got breakfast in Great Bend the temp was in the 80's. At the local coffee shop, Great Bend Coffee, we met the morning "men's group". They became our answer to lodging. We had none as we rode into town. Dave, one of the locals, owns the hotel we are now staying in. Our hotel room now is a pleasant 70 as the temp outside is 94. The Spokane 4 went to the Handlebar, a biker vibe bar for salads and street tacos then later to the DQ for shakes and blizzards,orange julius,fruit smoothies. Had a nice ride around downtown area. It has an old Steam locomotive wich seems to be common in many towns here in Kansas. It also has a large court house, water park and zoo. The group continues to comment on the width of downtown streets in Kansas. They are uber wide. The next day is planned. We are hoping for light wind and wide sholders. Dinner will be in our room a homemade Jetboil version
