The smells, sounds, and sights all feel like home. In Amsterdam, Paris, or Lisbon; Lawrence, Baldwin City, or even KC were just little places no one knew about. On the road I’d sometime think of these little towns and how funny it is that they’re home and these thousands of other towns I’ve pedaled through are not. Such a big old world yet I only really feel home in a little corner 🌎 
Unweighted bike feels amazing. The two biggest differences with a loaded bike are the uphills and acceleration. On my ~28 pound stallion the uphills were hardly even noticeable. Just cruise on up and over. On the touring bike it wasn’t even really worth trying for momentum… As soon as the gradient hits positive the speed is killed. 
Starting work tomorrow at KU. Excited and nervous. Crazy that one week ago we were in the Netherlands on tour pedaling towards Amsterdam. Taking a plane 4,109 miles in 8 hours really feels like teleportation after spending 57 days to go 2,000
