KC-area cyclist Les Sires does Bike Across Kansas

Cyclist Les Sires has a day-by-day writeup of his 2002 Bike Across Kansas adventure. Some of his "lessons learned":

• You can't have too much water!
  
• Pack a meal or two, just in case.
  
• The further you get from civilization, stop at every town that has services.
  
• Pacing is important
  
• Always pack tools and tubes on top for easy access
  
• Camp on the north side of structures. Do not pitch your tent in a drainage area.
