I live in Newton, KS. Population around 19,000. Not much happens around here, but when something does, it's a big deal. I knew when they built a new fire station on the south end of town, I was going to have to ride out there and check it out.
Bikes are ready to go.

We rode about 1 1/2 miles into downtown. I had to stop for tacos!

The city of Newton spent so much money on the new station, they couldn't afford any new equipment.

They could afford some bike racks though.

That looks like a pretty healthy wind. It's going to be a tough ride home!
She's doing much better than me riding into the 10-20mph winds!

That was about an 8 mile round trip. And a great way to spend an afternoon! Thanks for coming along.
