Over the last few days, he&#8217;s really put the pedal down (pun intended) and crossed off all of Kansas and most of Missouri. He&#8217;ll cross the southern tip of Illinois and then head into Kentucky over the next few days. If he didn&#8217;t still have so far to go, we&#8217;d say he&#8217;s on the run in to the finish. And while he&#8217;s confessed to being tired, he&#8217;s still covering 150-200 miles a day, sometimes riding at after dark to avoid the mid-day heat.<\/p>\n<p>As always, he sends back great photos, especially for a guy literally racing across the country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19027082025_38ba609209_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4563 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19027082025_38ba609209_h.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to Kansas\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19027082025_38ba609209_h.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19027082025_38ba609209_h-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19027082025_38ba609209_h-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18971113611_5ab98f8ee1_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4564 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18971113611_5ab98f8ee1_h.jpg\" alt=\"Brad eats a twizzler on the ride\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18971113611_5ab98f8ee1_h.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18971113611_5ab98f8ee1_h-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18971113611_5ab98f8ee1_h-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18897279200_458e51e05a_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4565 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18897279200_458e51e05a_h.jpg\" alt=\"Endless pavement\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18897279200_458e51e05a_h.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18897279200_458e51e05a_h-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18897279200_458e51e05a_h-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19058766416_d84ee686de_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4566 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19058766416_d84ee686de_h.jpg\" alt=\"Missouri Welcomes You\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19058766416_d84ee686de_h.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19058766416_d84ee686de_h-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/19058766416_d84ee686de_h-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18839421658_2d9b050de8_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4567 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18839421658_2d9b050de8_h.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset on the Midwest\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18839421658_2d9b050de8_h.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18839421658_2d9b050de8_h-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/18839421658_2d9b050de8_h-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When last we checked Brad&#8217;s progress in the Trans Am Bike Race, he was cruising through the Rockies.
