Day 20: Osawatomie to Kansas City. 55 miles. Last day of riding. This is the Miami County courthouse in Paola.


I'd heard that Kansas has some crappy roads, but I didn't experience any until today. But these were seriously crappy.


The bike paths were crappy too. Nice location. Crappy path.


Once I could see downtown there was a bike lane (or at least a picture of a guy riding a bike) on the road all the way in.


A small park dedicated to Buck O'Neal and the Kansas City Monarchs. Buck is a really big name in Kansas City. He died in 2006.


Finishing up at the most famous place in Kansas City--the corner of 18th & Vine. The ride ended up being just over 1200 miles.


Then out to dinner at Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que at the original gas station location. Had the pulled pork sandwich. Yummy.


Then over to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to see the giant shuttlecocks.


And the fairly large Buddha they keep in one of the stairwells.
