Bikers in town

Just talked to a group of five bicyclers who stopped in front of Mayberry's. Turns out there just some bikers who are taking a trip from Boulder, Colo., to St. Louis, Mo. Nice folks.
Evidently they're using Highway 36 until they get to Atchison and then they'll head south for a bit before turning east to St. Louis.
I thought maybe they were practicing for Bike Across Kansas which will be coming through in a couple weeks, but they pointed out that BAK has trucks carry the gear and they are carrying their own.
I thought I saw another biker or two a week ago who looked like they were doing one of the cross country rides. I should do that... maybe it will help me get back on track for the Biggest Loser contest!
