Day 2 Larned KS to Dighton KS

Woke up and grabbed a quick bite to eat at a local breakfast spot, filled up out water bottles and were on the road! Today we rode 96 miles to Dighton. The longest I've ever gone on a bike! 
The day was broken up into 4 rest stops which helps! 
 
Pretty good day to ride, it wasn't too hot and the winds were not nearly as strong as yesterday!  It was the half way point today for the full tour riders, so pie first rest stop was loaded with a pancake and bacon feast! The second stop was a down right party, with poppers, music, drinks and an all around rowdy bunch.
The final stretch of the day was a rough stretch! The day was long and my bum was sore! I kept on pushing through and made it! When I made it into camp after nearly 10 hours on a bike, I was greater with an iced cold seltzer water from some awesome friends!
The town of Dighton was nice we stayed near a pool and got to take COLD showers! Also, for such a small town they are really all about their fireworks! Literally all night long, across town you could see fireworks happening! After some Mac and cheese it was off to bed!
