The forecast called for sunny skies and temperatures in the 60’s today…OBVIOUSLY a day to have the bike out. It’s not going to get a lot better in January, eh?
I decided to take a blast through the back roads of Cowley County…Cowley County is VERY rural and is dominated by the southern tip of the Kansas Flint Hills…gorgeous country. The route was as follows: Augusta, Leon, Latham, Cambridge, Burden, Winfield, Udall and back home again. Altogether, a trip of around 125 miles.
It WAS fun…the stretch of road between Latham and Cambridge is just killer…the road surface itself is a bit dodgy (it’s chit…a mixture of road tar and gravel…do they have that over there?) but the ups and downs and round and rounds through the Flint Hills are just too fun.
I was SHOCKED and dismayed that I couldn’t get any to come out with me, though…“It’s too cool…too windy…blah blah blah.” A bunch of damnable pussies. ROFL
