Wutheringbikes Home -- TransAm Bike Ride

Friday 16th July 2004
From Sterling Lake Campground to Larned City Park - 49 miles on route and
a fair few a bit off route! There's not much in the way of services between
Sterling and Larned, on the whole, so we were careful to carry lots of water
and food. The whole day was in a straight line, the Quivira Nature Refuge
was the only notable thing we went past. You can hunt on the refuge, so
its a funny kind of refuge! No doubt it makes ecological sense to someone.
Hunting seems popular - not least by the number of 'no hunting' notices
around. Is that was the NRA (National Riflemen's Association) is keen on?
We've seen lots of NRA stickers on pickup trucks. Today was relatively cloudy
so not as hot as usual. Arrived early in Larned, c. 3.30pm, went for a swim
in the pool, and discovered that it doesn't close until 8pm (well, the building
closes at 8pm, you have to be out of the pool a little before). Excellent!
Went to the library and spent a long time in there - typing up some of my
diary. It was in Larned that I finally got a few pictures onto this website.
More to come! |
