Day 36 - 7/9/17 - Eads, CO to Leoti, KS - 80 Miles
Average Speed - I just pedal
Lodging - Leoti City Park - Free
Well, as you can see, I've ticked off another state and another time zone.
This is largely due to how I kicked off my morning...
The story of the cinnamon roll all started the previous evening as I lay in my tent weathering a severe thunderstorm. As I fought to keep my tent from blowing flat in the high winds, I was craving pie and remembered that the cafe just down the street had an advertisement in the window for homemade pie. After the storm blew through I marched over there and got a piece to go along with a glass of milk. What a nice nightime snack...
Anyway, while getting the pie, I also noticed they had homemade cinnamon rolls. I got one of those and saved it for breakfast.
The first 40 miles was spent finishing eastern CO. I continued to enjoy the solitude offered by the wide open spaces.
My initial destination for the day was Tribune, KS at 58 miles. However, due to favorable winds, I made it there by 11 AM. I grabbed a bite to eat and pushed on to Leoti.
There were two things I was looking forward to in Kansas...city park camping and community swimming pools. Today I got a chance to enjoy both. I got into town mid afternoon and it just so happens that the pool is right next to the city park. They let me in for free, I took a well needed shower, donned some swim trunks and spent the rest of the afternoon swimming and lounging.
I think I'm gonna like Kansas!!
