\nI am returning from a great birthday weekend in Kansas City and an even better ride; though not quite what I expected.<\/p>\n

First, I want to give props to the $34.99 Allen Bike Rack. It carried my GT from Dallas to Kansas City at very high speeds and was as solid as a rock the entire way. Kudos to you, cheap bike rack.<\/p>\n

I spent the afternoon before the Tour riding around with Dad in his cool little sportscar, trying to pre-ride the route. However, whoever wrote the directions (cough) filled them full of crazy pre-directions – things like “Head straight towards Buena Vista Street” – Buena Vista street would have nothing to do with the next direction, which might…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
