Hello everyone! Don't be surprised if this one is really short! We're all melting here in Kansas! Today we rode from Beloit, KS to Phillipsburg, KS. It was an 86 mile day in the upper 90s with a headwind the whole time. Lately I have been picking people to ride with in the morning and sticking with them the whole day. Today Emily and I rode together and endured the abuse from the sun. The scenery is getting closer to my Oklahoma view.. so there's not much to talk about there. We stopped in Cawker City at the big twine ball. We all were taking pictures and having fun when a woman pulled up. This woman was the twine ball keeper and had a spool of twine in her back seat and she let us each wrap a time or two around the ball of twine.. So we got to add twine to the record setting ball! It was awesome! Another achievement for today is that we're officially over the halfway point for being halfway across the continental U.S.! Apparently the mark is around Downs, KS which we passed through early in the day. We're on the downhill slide.
Yesterday we rode from Clay Center to Beloit, KS. It was a 65 mile day that was similar to today. It was very hot and really flat. After about 15 miles, there was a giant cut-out metal indian thing sitting on the top of a hill. Kira and I decided it would be an excellent idea to climb to the top of the hill to take pictures with the "statue." I'm not sure whether to call it a statue or not because it was just a metal cut-out thing. Well.. anyway.. the "statue" looked really close, but 20 mins later we were at the top and taking pictures. The group had mostly passed by the time we got back to the road, so we hung at the back of the group. We caught up with Laura a ways down the road and all rode the rest of the day together. Although it was hot and windy we managed to find a windmill to climb all over and take pictures with it. It was great.
It's weird that when biking across the country that the most miserable weather conditions are bearable and really don't seem to phase us anymore. Basically, biking across the country is an amazing experience and I think it will help put a lot of things in perspective when I get home.
On a side note - we're 20 miles away from Nebraska right now and I'm debating on whether I should side trip there or not. If it rains, I'm totally going. It's 2 hours more of riding.. but it would add another state onto my total for the trip. I can't believe we've conquered Virgina, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky (side trip!), Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and we'll be done with Kansas soon.
Well.. obviously heat and dehydration are setting in so I'm going to go drink more water and relax. (my life is so difficult!) haha. Hopefully everyone out there is enjoying their air conditioning and cars!

Clay Center, KS
Hi!
We're in Clay Center Kansas tonight. I was sweep on a 40 mile ride today with Boss Brian. We found a daylight donuts in Manhattan and stopped for an hour before heading out. It was great. The ride today was excellent. The road we were on turned into a gravel road so we had to detour to find our route. The people in the front of the group did an excellent job at rerouting the group and making sure everyone else in the group knew about it. I was really proud of the communication between group members today. Boss and I took it easy, but since it was only 44 miles, we all made it in by 12:30. I didn't get much sleep the last few days, so I took the chance to take a 3 and a half hour nap this afternoon. I woke up later with a tiara on my head and apparently people have some awesome pictures of me sleeping. haha. oh well. I guess thats what I get for sleeping around 30 crazy cyclists!
The last 2 days have been amazing. We rode 90 miles from Lawrence, KS to Manhattan, KS. Barbara and I rode the first 26 miles together at an average speed of 18.6. We got up early to try to avoid the heat and headwinds. After the first lunch stop, we joined with Jenny and Christina and rode on to the second lunch stop at mile 66. We made it there at the front of the pack and we were all running low on steam. Christina and I left the 2nd lunch together and thought it was going to be smooth sailing. We were wrong. The wind picked up a lot and there were 2 decent sized hills before Manhattan. It slowed us down a lot, but we still made it in by 1:00. My family came to visit me and I was really glad to get to see them all. My girlfriend Sarah also came and surprised me while I was napping. It was so good to spend time with everyone!
We had a day off in Manhattan as well which really helped me get adequate amounts of rest on my muscles for the first time in weeks. Days off make me happy. At this point I love riding, but a day off is just luxurious. I also got to stay in a hotel room for a night which was awesome! I hope you people reading this enjoy your actual beds.. because you're spoiled! haha.
Anyway, we have a 60 mile day tomorrow before a stretch of three 90 mile days in a row. There will be some long days, but we will be in Denver before you know it! I'm getting excited about the Rockies.. and the day off in Denver.
Well.. I'm going to sleep so I can be rested for tomorrow! Thanks for reading!

Kansas City, MO - different than Kansas City, KS
Hello faithful readers!
Today we built in Kansas City, MO. We worked on a house for Habitat that needed some landscaping and exterior renovation. They had planned for us to take all of the shingles off of the outside of the house and take all the trim off the house and thought it would take us all day. Turns out that 31 of us can take off shingles a lot faster than expected and we had finished those jobs in a few hours. I thank the Ezzells for letting me help on Ben's house otherwise the shingle pulling could've take much much longer and wouldn't have been so efficient. Most of the build days I have done something that I did for the first time on Ben's house. It's good to have some experience! The best part of the build day (my favorite part of every day.. food!) was lunch. We had pizza ordered in from Habitat and Haley got us hooked up with sandwiches from McCormick and Schmicks!! They were amazing and the energy from all of that food kept me building strong the rest of the day. After that we all hung around the Plaza and got some cheesecake. Life is pretty rough for the Bike and Builders! Tonight I think we're all going out because we have a short day tomorrow = 40 something miles.
Yesterday was crazy! We had our first century ride. Sorry about the lack of clarification on the last blog.. a century ride = a ride of 100 miles or more. We got up in Sedalia at 4:00am to start the day. It was thundering, lightning, and pouring down rain as we ate breakfast and got ready. We started riding at around 6 and ventured into the pouring down rain. I took off with the first group of people to leave.. the fast group.. to see if I could keep up with their pace on the long day. The way to describe the first 30 miles is downpour. It rained so hard at some points it felt like it was hailing. We had to stop a few times and wait for it to stop lightning and thundering, but we patiently enjoyed the temporary break from riding. We rolled into lunch at around 9:30 after 45 miles. We stopped for a quick lunch because of the weather and then pressed on. Me, John, and Boss took the lead out of lunch and we rode at a moderate pace (around 15 mph) and talked. The weather started to clear so we took a break in a oat field at around mile 70. The groups behind us caught up to us and we took some group pictures. I survived riding with the fast group all the way until mile 92. Everyone in the group wanted a different type of food or didn't want to stop to eat. Alicia and I split from the group and went to the Salvation Army. While we were at the Salvation Army, Alicia talked to a man in line in front of her and he bought our clothing because he supported our cause. After the Salvation Army we rode to Taco Bell to get some snacks. We wasted a bunch of time at both of those places then decided we should finish the ride. In case you were wondering, Kansas City is not flat! It was lots of hills, but we made it to mile 100 and stopped and took a picture. I will upload it on here whenever I get a chance! We finished the day by 4:00 and I enjoyed the rest of the day celebrating with each rider as they came into the host location. A century is definitely an accomplishment and I'm proud of all the riders for making it.
Other than the events of the last few days, I think everyone should know the amazing amounts of food that everyone eats on these trips. I seriously eat better on Bike and Build than I would if I were at home. The PB&J sandwiches for lunch may be a downgrade to my daily salads, but other than that, I eat nonstop. I just thought I should let you all know how hard life is here! haha.
Life is good. Hope everything is amazing wherever you all are!

Sedalia, MO - trying to get back in the swing of blogging!
Hi people! Remember me? I haven't blogged in forever! Sorry!
We are currently in Sedalia, MO.. We had a 60 mile day today and it was a great ride on Highway 50! We were supposed to ride the Katy Trail today, but the crushed limestone path added 20 miles to our route. We have our first century ride tomorrow so everyone voted to take highway 50. This morning we were all pretty tired and I tried to ride with the fast group of riders. I fell behind with Suzanne(who was also tired) and we rode a slow pace until lunch. Boss Brian was driving the van today and parked across the street from a Subway so I got good energy through a 5 dollar foot long. After lunch I was going to ride with John and Kate (not plus 8) but my seat bag broke so I told them to go on. I made it my goal to catch them when I took off 10 mins later. I cranked up to my highest chain and maintained a speed of 20 mph all afternoon. It took me 12 miles to catch up to John and Kate and pass them. I got to Sedalia in an hour and a half (a 30 mile ride) and the fastest group went to TB (Taco Bell) so I was the first one to the church. The church fed us a really good meal to set us up for a 100 mile day tomorrow.
Yesterday we rode from Washington, MO to Jefferson City, MO. This was our second day on the Katy Trail and it was a great day of riding. Our ride on the Katy Trail was really nice and the weather was perfect for the first 30 miles. The Katy Trail is an old railroad that they took out to make a cycling/pedestrian path. It was a great change of pace from the highways because we could ride in a big group and talk the whole time. We got to around mile 30 when we saw Boss Brian and Tony (a CUS 08 alumni) getting ready to jump in a creek - Massie Creek. The water looked muddy but I am always up for a swim on the road. We ended up testing the water and jumping from the top of the bridge (around 30 feet) into the creek. It was safe.. the water was deep enough. (No worries mom!). After I had spent 2 hours at the creek bridge jumping with just about every rider on the trip, we rode on to lunch. We had lunch at a family farm that was 2 miles off of the Katy Trail. The family saw the van sitting on the road and invited us out to their home to swim and hang out. They had a really nice lake and we all got to hang out and swim. After lunch I rode with Emily the rest of the day. We talked to some passerbys and heard about some nudist cyclists on the trail and were glad that we didn't run into them. The trail was really long and seemed like it would never end. The trail is made of crushed limestone and our road bike tires were not the best for the terrian. It seemed like we worked extremely hard just to ride 13-15 mph. In the end, we made it to Jeff City at 6:30 and BBQ sandwiches were provided by Steve's family. It was really really good. They also had Head Country BBQ sauce, which made me extremely happy! It was a total 81 mile day. Mark also fell and sprained his wrist today.. so he'll most likely be out for a few days to heal. I hope he can get back in the saddle soon because he's lots of fun to ride with.
I wish I remembered more important events from the last week and a half.. but since the days blend together.. I will give you the important things that happened.
I had my first wreck about a week ago.. I don't remember where we were going when it happened. We were riding in heavy traffic and were pretty close to the host location. I was with Justin and Julie going 20 when I slid off the road into a gravel shoulder. I tried to get back on the road but ended up going head over handlebars and rolling down the road. I remember looking up and hearing Julie yell "B-MONEY!" and her front tire was about 3 feet away from my face. I sat up, she swurved around me and I scooted myself into the shoulder and dragged my bike behind me. As I sat there gaining my composure, Julie ran up to me gave me a big hug and said "B-Money, I almost killed you! You're alive!" Justin and Julie both made sure I was okay and all the cars had stopped to check on me. I waved the cars on, stood up, and barely had a scratch on me. I was lucky, but I'm glad to have my first fall out of the way. My bike took a little damage, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.
Sorry again about the lack of blogging, but I will make a point to blog at least every other day! Thanks for reading!

100 mile ride tomorrow and Kansas City!!!

Bloomington, IN
Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a little while since I posted last!
Yesterday was our longest ride ever at 90.1 miles. We rode from Cincinnatti, OH to Columbus, Indiana! Crossing state lines was excellent!!! There was no sign at the border, so we had to chalk one for the group to take pictures with. I rode with the fast group until lunch and it went quickly. Then I was tired after eating porkchop sandwiches at lunch and had to slow down my riding pace. After lunch we went through Greensburg, IN and there happened to be a strawberry festival going on. We bought 4 strawberry shortcakes that was supporting the local YMCA in Greensburg and started eating. As more riders showed up at the stop, the organizers of the event noticed all 15 of us out in the field and thought our organization was awesome! They ended up giving us 10 more strawberry shortcakes as a donation. (Everytime we stop, we draw lots of attention to ourselves because we don't really fit into society with spandex on). We even made a local newspaper there.. I'll try to find the link to the article tonight. When we got to Columbus, my mileage read 87.4.. So I decided to bike around and look at architecture until my odometer read 90.1! I wish it would've been a century like the website said because it was really flat. OH well.. i'm sure it's coming.
We are in Bloomington, Indiana now and had a 40 mile ride today. Because it was such a short ride, we got to sleep in until 7 (we usually get up at 5) and take it easy. There was a farmers market in Columbus, IN so we all stopped and looked around there. We rode steadily until Nashville, IN and we stopped at a bakery there. We all stuffed our faces with desserts. There we 5 of us at the stop so we each bought at least 1 dessert and shared with eachother. It was amazing. After that I got ice cream and then rode on. It got hilly in the afternoon, but we pressed on. As soon as we got to Bloomington, we found a fountain on the campus and got soaked. There are pictures, but they aren't on my camera.
Some people talked about a quarry that was around Bloomington that was in a cyclist movie called Breaking Away. We got directions to the quarry and 5 of us took off riding. This was the best side trip I have ever taken! We got to the quarry, ran into some locals that showed us around, and then went swimming and cliff jumping. I was one of the first ones to make the ~25 foot jump, but everyone in our group eventually took the plunge! I was really proud of everyone. There was a 65 ft. ledge there that people could jump from, but it was dangerous enough, so we decided against it. Some locals were also at the quarry and one of them did a full gainer off of the 65 ft. ledge. It was intense! Apparently the quarry was on private property and some police officers were coming to bust the people there for trespassing - so we had to cut our visit short. We took off towards our bikes with no legal trouble. When we got back our chicken parm dinner was still being cooked by Nick. It was amazing! Nick is one of the riders that is an amazing chef and he's always helping others out. Thanks Nick!
Well it looks like tomorrow we're headed to Terre Haute, IN, which is our last day in Indiana! I can't believe that we fly through these states so quickly! We're getting close to our 1000th mile! I'm so excited.
Well, I Julie just came up to me and informed me about "Baked! of Bloomington" and now we are ordering hot cookies to the church we're staying at. This means I'm going to go downstairs and wait for hot cookies to get to me! Sorry I've neglected updating.. trying to get back on top of it!!
Thanks for reading! (Sorry about typos/grammar)
