Weather has been our friend for the most part. We missed 5 inches of torrential downpours yesterday, in the area we rode through today from Liberal, Kansas to Dodge City. Lots of standing water off the roads we travelled today. Some headwinds made it a good choice to stay with a pace line in order to share pulling and drafting duties. Made a couple of stops, one at the Dalton Gang hideout, another at a convenience store (not really remarkable but a chance to rest my butt), followed by a visit to the local DQ for a burger and Blizzard combo...refueling needed before stopping @ hotel 2 blocks away.
Other than group meal @ Mexican restaurant, (picture below) I didn't get out much other than to wash and lube my bike. Oh, and there was a slight side trip to Sonic for milkshake just prior to nightly "Route Rap" - review of tomorrow's directions and next stop's cultural heritage.

Town really plays up its Old West heritage. Colder and stronger winds predicted for tomorrow. That's just the way I like it. Uh huh, Uh huh.
