Toto, we are not in Kansas in anymore


So it is not original. It is not easy coming up with a title to my posts. Titles are directly proportional to how much I talk and as I was looking at the scenery today there was not much talking.

We left the hotel and there was a hill to climb. I had my bike check and I thought the problem was solved, but I still had chain problems. I put in another request. It is extremely frustrating not being able to climb. Additionally, my shoulder gets re injured as I am pushed forward. If my bike makes it through this trip I am confident that physically I can complete the trip.

We biked and at the 60TH mile we bicycled into our Missouri.

We stopped and ate lunch and after we continued to an ice cream shop. Apparently, an ex Cross Roads rider had arranged for free Ice Cream for the group. I had a chocolate ice cream cone. Thank you Gary for arranging.

After this we bicycled to the hotel.
