Day 8 - Lawrence to Leavenworth
 Route Map  Elevation Profile

Today's route was just wonderful.  Little bit of tailwind, lots of fun little hills, and decent temperatures.  I reached nearly 35 miles an hour on the fixed-gear, which translates to over 155 rpm.  I'm sure I looked like a circus midget on a tricycle.

This year's BAK was marked by the tremendous showing of the smaller towns that we visited.  The lunch in Hunter, the party atmosphere in Chapman -- just a couple of examples of how welcomed we were.

It made for a great vacation.
