Biking Across Kansas 2018 reached the Missouri border at Arcadia, then concluded at Fort Scott on Saturday, Day 8. The road surface to Arcadia was poor, but the scenic views that included two old bridges made up for that. Our concluding festivities were on the grounds of the Fort Scott National Historic Site, and the citizens turned out to to cheer us in through a gauntlet along the streets of the old downtown.

You can view this ride in detail at Garmin Connect or at Ride With GPS.
