Today, Dean and I went on his least adventurous ride and my first motorcycle tour ever: riding down Kansas’ Glacial Hills Scenic Byway.

There were a few sections that challenged me, all of them involved negotiating curves with strong sidewinds at (to me) high speeds, on some of the Interstate parts, and particularly between Atchison and Leavenworth. But I’ll remember it for the gorgeous runs alongside the Missouri River: northbound on the Missouri side through crisp morning air, and southbound on K-7 through rural Kansas.

I had great time and I’m looking forward to exploring a few more of these!
