Smooth peddling in good weather on good roads today. Missouri, on Sunday morning, is quiet and the riders were fast.
At SAG this morning the 2000 mile mark was celebrated. That’s a BIG number!
Crossing the Mississippi River is monumental. There are two bridges. The eastbound bridge, the old bridge, is underwater on the western bank and traffic is diverted to the newer bridge now serving traffic in both directions.
Lots and lots of water here, but the levees here are standing strong.
Long day tomorrow to Springfield!
