My dad and I went on a pretty good bike trip to Sterling and back this morning. Ended up being a total of 41.00 miles. Yes, exactly 41. When we got to the driveway, the bike computer said we’d gone 40.74 miles. Well, I couldn’t leave it at that, so I went down to my neighbors driveway, but hit 41.00 before I got all the way to my driveway, so I stopped in the middle of the road and walked the bike the rest of the way back. :-)
We’ve definitely been improving. Both of us felt pretty good after the trip and probably could have gone further. The Biking Across Kansas website says, “you should be able to do 30 miles in 3 hours or less.” We went the first 30 miles in 2 hours and 26 minutes, so we should be pretty set for the real thing.
After taking a shower, it was time for lunch, and I was really hungry. I decided to take everything I could find in the fridge that could possibly go on sandwich and see what I could come up with. The result was highly delicious, and I recommend you give it a try. Here’s the ingredients, roughly in order of stacking:
- Slice of toasted and buttered bread
- Oven roasted turkey breast
- Lettuce
- Ranch dressing
- Cucumber slices
- Banana peppers
- Smoked turkey breast
- Mozzarella cheese
- Jalapenos
- Another slice of bread
- Fajita meat
- Onions
- Salsa
- Olives
- Cheddar cheese
- More cucumber slices
- Thinly sliced apple pieces
- Dill pickles
- Tomato slices
- Slice of toasted bread
Serve with the rest of the apple that you cut up and some baby carrots, for a really great lunch!
