The promised land...Kansas

I bet Kansas is usually not considered the promised land but after 3 days of mountains and deserts, we were ready and waiting. We crossed into Kansas at daybreak on Wednesday morning and are finally starting to put some serious miles behind us. We are working in 4 teams of 2 riders each. Each team rides for 5 hours and then switches. We are trying to keep transition time down and this schedule will finally allow everyone to plan for eating and sleeping. I can feel the pull towards home especially as we just moved into the Central time zone and are now only one hour different from home.

I am also very aware of all the people that are following us and praying for us. It is making a big difference. Depending on the wind, we should move through Kansas in 24-28 hours and be headed in Missouri.
