Day 20

Guymon, OK to Liberal KS -- 40 miles Of all days to have a short ride! For the first time in almost 3 weeks we had the most wonderful tailwind and almost flew into Kansas. We casually rode along at 23-25 mph just laughing, chatting and thoroughly enjoying our short day. The organizers said the short day was necessary in order to prevent us from riding 125 miles straight through in one day, a point we certainly didn't object to especially with all the illness going through the group. We posed for pictures at our 5th state line crossing and had plenty of free time in Liberal to explore Dorothy's house at the Land of Oz and see the official "yellow brick road." Other than that and all the cattle feed lots in the area, there wasn't much to see or do but go back to our rooms and rest up for a long, windy day tomorrow.
