I definitely have to give you the award for coolest biking shoes. :) As others have said, you were one of 70 people that started the event instead of sitting on their couch all day. I will take your word that the 3rd portion of the course was the most beautiful, I was too busy suffering and having my own little pity party to notice. The cookies WERE awesome and I'm looking forward to the recipe being posted :) I enjoyed the pre-ride chat with you, Leslie and Kim(?) on Saturday.

When you consider that 60% of Americans lead completely sedentary lifestyles, what you did was a huge success! Good job.

Thanks for the stories - really enjoyed your post! I really enjoy my Google Alert for Blogs on “Kansas Flint Hills!” Yours came up today! Our 22 county Flint Hills Tourism Coalition, Inc. promotes visits to the Kansas Flint Hills – the website is: http://www.kansasflinthills.travel/ Hard to believe it has been over a year now since the 22 page color photo spread in National Geographic’s April 2007 Issue on the Kansas Flint Hills, as a distinctive landscape. We are now working to get the Kansas Flint Hills designated as a National Heritage Area. We would appreciate a link from your site, to ours, if you are willing to do so. THANKS! Best wishes!
