Woohoo! We made it into the plains at last. Average speeds are high and the sun is shining. After another great feed in Cookys we set off for Kansas.
Stopped in Pittsburg for lunch and Mark got himself a sweet new pair of trainers for about 20quid - nice. Alex spent ages drooling over a pair of $500 oakley sunglasses that had an MP3 player built into them and headphones that came out of the arms. We all know he'd only lose them so we headed off to the library where we wrote the update. Only 20miles this afternoon to Lake Crawford State Park where we'll camp the night. A few hefty milage days ahead of us now, but being in the plains is so nice that it should be a breeze!

Hi Alex & Mark,
We are all very proud of your acheivement to date. According to my calculations it appears that you have just completed about a third of the distance to San Fransisco in the last month. From which I assume you will just be in time to catch your plane back to poor old Coventry! By the way, Coventry City have just beaten Derby County and so avoided relegation, on their last match at Highfield Road.
I noticed that Alex's cousin has posted a comment and I know that quite a number of people are following your adventures on your website, including people in the United States and Australia. We are still receiving sponsorship money including cheques for $135 from our friends in Rhode Island.
Keep up the good work and the best of luck. Look after yourselves and most importantly your Bikes.
Alex's Dad and Mom.

Still sick of study, infact you are doing me no favours posting me your adventures online. Although it does stop me studying which in the short term is good, but in the long term it is no good when I fail (returns to study)

Hi guys!!
Just thought i'd say well bloody done so far! Your diary has been a nice distraction for me when i'm supposed to be revising! And i'm very jealous! I won't moan though seeing as you two stuck it out in peugeot for so long (you nutters). Anyway, hope it's all been worth it, and good luck!!! Will be thinking of you!
Anna
