Day 25 - 55.58 Miles
Chanute Shuffle
Chanute, KS
Although we had camped with the couples we rode with yesterday, they were long gone by the time we woke up - that was fine with us, because we knew we were only riding a short distance to be able to meet up with Leo - a friend from Williams that played baseball with Austin - and his brother, Toby. Although both born and raised in Kansas, they were in as much awe of the small town Kansas nightlife as we were. The bars didn't offer much in the way of intentional entertainment - some didn't even have music - but lets just say, we no longer know how many beers we've had on this trip. Austin and Leo lost two games of pool to Jon and Toby, but got their revenge in a killer match of shuffleboard. Many thanks to Leo and Toby for driving down from Kansas City, putting us up in the Super 8, and spending a crazy night with us - "We'll always have Chanute."
