Biking Across Kansas returned to Tribune to begin a zig-zag route of officially 522 miles. On Friday, or Day 0, we gathered, and if you were so inclined, made a run to the Colorado border. I did, of course, with a little diversion to the town of Horace on the way out.

It was seriously hot, dry and windy out, and what should have been a quick and easy 35 miles turned into an exercise in conserving the 48 ounces of water I took with me. That was a preview of the days to come. You can view this in detail at Garmin Connect or at Ride With GPS.
