I bet it's fascinating to experience the country this way. "Kansas, I hate Kansas. So windy and dark there."

I get such a kick out of reading the riders' blogs. I think everyone expects Kansas to be an easy state - all nice and flat. The RAAM route goes through mostly flat terrain, but there are still lots of good rolling hills in Kansas, and there are some rugged hills and bluffs near Medicine Lodge.
But the riders really gripe about our weather. If it isn't blowing 30 mph +, there are big thunderstorms - downpours, hail, even stronger winds, tornado warnings, or it's really hot - over 100 degrees - and humid.
Now they know what WE have to ride in.

I just wanted to jump in here and say Yeah for TE on RAAM. You go girls! Rock those bikes. I have been keeping up through the posted blogs. So here is to safe riding and speedy trip across the US.

Woot! They're in Indiana today (although I have to admit that I've never heard of Sullivan, Indiana and have no idea where it is). Gotta dig out the state map.
I hope they continue to have what looks like a blast!Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I'm still watching the whole race! There's a heated battle between the top solo men, who are apparently very close within a few hundred miles of the finish. Team Beau and Babe are amazing (as are many other teams). There are 3 solo women still in it, including Janet "Osprey." Truly inspiring!

Sullivan is south of Terre Haute close to the state line, and Team Shephard is in Missouri today so they are headed this way Originally Posted by indysteel
