Day 24 - 68.59 Miles
Three's ("couples") Company
Pittsburg, KANSAS
We met two very nice, 25 year old married couples headed West today and joined them for much of the 68 miles. Jesse and Taisha are on a tandem - they must really love eachother - and really cruised the flats and downhills; we expect to see them again as we all continue. If you're curious what another duo's quest west blog looks like (as we are), check out their site: jessandtaish.blogspot.com. Mo and Katie were moving to Texas - literally, all their belongings are en route to Austin. Katie is enrolled in a UT Ph.D. program for implementing a sustainable water supply in developing countries. She was inspired to do this during her travels to Ghana, and hopes to return to Africa in the future. Mo was a messenger rider while living in Brooklyn earning his degree after some time in the Navy. We wish them the best.
Pittsburg has what's either the best public pool or the worst amusement park in the world. Either way, we certainly enjoyed our hour spent at the Pittsburg Aquatic Center.
