Kansas has hills!!! For 92 miles today we were just riding up and down hills. We did drop slightly in elevation overall, but it was like a hill workout the whole time. Also, we ended up having to go an extra 20 miles than we planned because there was nothing in Neal, KS after all.
Also, Casey is in the running for the world's best tan lines competition, so please be sure to cast your vote! Check it out below:
For Bikers:
1) When putting your bike in a bike rack, put the rear wheel in first so it won't fall as easily. Bryce's bike today fell, and with all the weight on the rack in the back it bent the front rim and he had to buy a replacement :/
2) Put corn starch on your inner tubes before you out it into the tire: it makes it so the tube won't stick to the tire as much, and make it less likely to get popped.
3) Burp the prests valve when filling it so that you can get more air in, and higher pressure.
4) Fill up the tire part way when filling it up, check to see if it is okay, and then finish filling it up.
5) Inside the rim is a tape covering the holes for the spokes to connect to the rim. Make sure the tabs is lines up right and covering all the holes so it won't pop the tube!
