Day 25 (Larned to Newton)

(109mi,14.3mph)
Had breakfast with our families and loaded our gear into my parents' car. My dad joined us in the morning, unfortunately on one of the least scenic days of the trip! We battled crosswinds again and we seem to be getting into more humidity each day. It was awesome to just have our bikes for the day, although I had to figure out how to balance again without my trailer. We met up with my parents in Nickerson for lunch and then they dropped our gear off in Newton. About 25 miles from Newton, Katie's shifter cable broke, so she had to finish the ride with a single speed! We found a small bike shop where we got it fixed quickly, then we headed to the hotel room. We arrived to find a room full of food, but also full of our gear that we had to put back on our bikes! We had no trouble falling asleep after a long day in the heat.
