Sunday 1/5/05

Today we were planning to ride over 80 miles to a town called Toronto from Girard where we stayed last night, however Alex wouldn't get out of bed till 10 and Mark got two puntures on the way because his rear tyre had worn through, so we didn't make it to our destinination for lunch until 4 O'clock and still having another 40 odd miles to go we decided to stay in the city park in Chanute, which was suprisingly nice as it had hot showers and was free. The night was really cold though so we cooked dinner in the tent and went into a shivering half sleep (Dreading the rockies now, if I could'nt stand it that night whats it going to be like camped at 8-10000 ft, baltic I suspect!).
