We spent a hung over morning slowly but steadily completely the final leg of the 200 mile stech we'd done on the Katy Trail. Although it is a fantastic faciity and much needed rest from the traffic we were both glad to be back on the tarmac.
Both still really suffering from the day before we somehow dragged out and long day reaching Butler City Lake near the Missouri-Kansas border just in time to pitch our tent in the last light of the day. After couple of buds and a brief chin wag with a few local fishermen (about how to reel in a decent cat fish) we hit the sac and were serenaded to sleep by the consistant mooing sound of what we were told were the bullfrogs.
Day 23 - now in Kansas. Update to follow

Hope the residents of my city looked after you lads. Well done chaps, oh and Dan will send a little email to try and get more cheap skates at Capita to chuck in a few quid.
Guys
Awesome effort! Even a terrible geographer like me can tell that you are almost halfway there but with only a third of the time gone.
Feeling terribly guilty reading about your exertions. I'm on my own marathon back here. I've just watched the 28th match out of the 31 from the best European Championship match ever (the quality surely a direct cause of England's absence.) As you can imagine, it's really hard work.
However, having led the office predictions competition for 16 days, my ultimate prediction that Portugal would win the tournament (they went out to Germany 3-2 in the quarters just in case you're not able to get 5 Live on the bike's radio) is leaving me some nasty permutations to hold off my competitors and claim the £100 prize.
I worked it out that I need either a Turkey-Russia final or Turkey beating Spain in the final. Both results remain a possibility and I've decided that should either come true I'll donate the cash to this far more worthy cause.
Rise safely
