Newton, KS > Toronto, KS
Miles Ridden – 94.0
Mileage to date – 2,139.7
John and team finally made it to Toronto. Not that Toronto, but Toronto, KS ( pop. 281). The only notable entry in Wikipedia for Toronto is that “In the Toronto Township Cemetery, John C. Woods is buried. He was the hangman at the Nuremberg Trials.”
Well ok then.
John’s account of yesterday –
“Yesterday proved to be a challenging day of riding complete with some difficult head winds. After beginning the day with an all you can eat breakfast buffet we headed to Cassoday. That’s right, the prairie chicken capitol of the world is where we spent our lunch. After we travelled forward until Toronto KS, spending the night in a state campground.”
Reading between the lines and with apologies to any Kansas fans in the readership, I get the sense that the Kansas border can not come quick enough for John.
Perhaps this post should have been titled “following the yellow brick road out of Kansas as fast as possible”?
