Wednesday 4/5/05

We rose early today and rode 8mlies to the city of Newton. We decided to have one big brunch before setting off for the rest of the day and stopped at a fantastic Italian pizza restaurant. $4 for all you can eat salad, pizza and pasta! Fully fueled we rode the 50 miles to the City of Hutchinson. This was the first big city we had been to, so we set up camp as quick as possible in an RV park south of the city and then rode into downtown. Alex brought a sweet new pair of nike shox for $95 which would have cost easily over a hundred quid in England.Went to the only bike shop in town to pick up a few spares and got chatting with the guy that worked there. He informed us that there was a bikers hostel only a few blocks away and it was free. We were gutted as we'd already spent $15 on the camp site and set everything up there about 5 miles away. (We must email the AACA and inform them of that place because its not on the maps!) After leaving the bike shop we headed over to the mall to grab a bite and a movie. On the way we rode past the Kansas Cosmosphere which had rockets and other spaceships outside, unfortunately we didnt have time for the tour. We watched the Amityville horror and it was a bit of a let down, then got back to the camp in the dark and sat around falling asleep watching the washing machines.
