Tired, Sore, & Lonely!

Well, I'm tired and sore! I'm east of Topeka and 22 miles from Lawrence. There's a good bike shop there, so I'll have them take a look at my bike. I met two beautiful ladies in Silver Lake; Gwen and Jamie. Jamie works at Casey's General Store. I slept in a trashy motel last night.....cash only and it smelled like smoke in my room. Today it's 94 degrees and I'm starting to get lonely! I hope to make it to Missouri today.
