Greetings from Abilene, Kansas. Marilyn was feeling very rested after riding just 64 miles each day for the past 2 days. So she got into Abilene early and got to do some great sightseeing. This is the home of Dwight D Eisenhower the 34th Pres of the USA. She visited the museum and chapel.
And then Marilyn found the Greyhound Hall of Fame. That would be the dog not the bus. She was very impressed and visited the statue of Mr Ripley who is the fastest and broke many records racing.
Another little known fact of Abilene is that it is the home of a Russell Stover Candy Factory.....
Today was also a special day for the entire group that started in San Francisco, they crossed the 1/2 way point. See photo and proof that Marilyn is riding across America. Double click on the photo to enlarge.
She was just finishing laundry - again and will get ready for the 4th of July when they will ride 108 miles to Topeka KS. They will wear their America by Bicycle shirts just in case they get to ride in a parade that is going on during their ride.
More in a few days....

Congrats on making it to the half way point. Here is hoping that it is all downhill with a tail wind from here.
