Kansas, y'all. Kansas. As I rode across that great state, I got excited for the return trip on my bike. Boy, it sure is flat.
Anyway, one nice thing about sailing through KS is that I got to return to one of my roots; Braum's Ice Cream. Braum's, for those who didn't spend significant time in the Kansas/Oklahoma/North Texas area, is a chain of fast food-ice cream restaurants that have grocery stores inside them. It's a weird combination that works for them because most of them got their start as small stores in small towns. And they still have that small town feel. Most importantly, though, they make an absolutely killer hot fudge sundae. Worth the drive.
