We finished off Colorado today, and entered Kansas! As we were riding through the super-flat, super-dry plains of Eastern Colorado, we passed a couple riding the TransAmerica the other way. We asked if this was what Kansas is like, and the lady said 'No, Kansas is flat.' :)
We rode 103 miles, from Eads, CO to Scott City, Kansas. And yes, Kansas is flat! Fortunately we had a tail-wind most of the day, so even though it was our longest ride, it wasn't our hardest. I really enjoyed riding through all the corn fields. Every town that comes up has a grain elevator (I think that's what they are called), and you can see the next one from the previous town. So you can always see the next town, even if it's an hour's ride away!

Hey Moons way to go, sounds like you are having a great trip. We just got the link to your blog and are enjoying your experience.
Keep up the good work, The Milners
Hey Nathan and family,
We've had fun following you across the good old U.S.A. We're wondering if you will like all the corn by the time you reach the other side of Kansas.
We especially liked hearing that you saw the pinto bean capitol of the world. We see it every time we go to Texas.
My mom wants to know how Mary, Haley, Dallin and Elijah are faring while you are biking. I know my mom might be going crazy with all of us going crazing while we were waiting for you to get done riding.
