Landon Nature Trail to Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education Historic Site

Had a nice 10-mile evening ride along the Landon Nature Trail in Topeka 
 to the Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education national historic site.  




History happened here. 

 
We definitely should come back during operating hours and go through the exhibit. 


We loved the excellent smooth surface of the paved part of the trail, and the 4 miles out and back that we rode was 95% tree shaded and very comfortable even on a high-80-degree summer evening. 

On this portion where the trail crosses under the active railroad trestle, 
there was a roof to protect from anything that might be thrown from the train 
(hopefully no Mommas, though......)



And then there was this, but whatever.  There's always gotta be someone who does crap like this......

Mahaffie Creek Trail / Gary L. Haller Trail - Metro KC

Beautiful day for a 25-mile July 4th weekend ride on the Mahaffie Creek Trail and Gary L. Haller Trail.

Don't let anyone lie to you that Kansas is completely flat.  It's not.
