Hard - urban areas were nasty to navigate through both for the riders and the navigators in the vans. Kansas was terrible - hot and humid. It was over 100 degrees the day we were there. Going into Effingham, IN the riders had to slog over a DIRT road in the dark on tires with 170 PSI. Fortunately, they did not get a flat.

Effingham is actually in Illinois, not Indiana, Not that it matters. Indiana's roads are often equally horrible. We actually saw some of the riders on Friday driving along Highway 46 from Columbus, IN to Nashville, Indiana and then from Nashville to Bloomington. That's not a particularly safe road (two lanes, no shoulder), so I'm curious as to whether many of the roads are like that.

In any event, I look forward to reading more from you about it. Sounds like quite a journey.
