Shelbina, Missouri

Today is the first day of the ride that I can say truthfully that I could have ridden further.   We put in nearly 60 miles at 13.2 mph.   There were hills and some variable winds, but it was a nice easy day.   The problem is that there is not a logical destination for the next 30 miles, so we were comfortably in by 2 PM.

There was not much to photograph today and no learning opportunities. 

We are enjoying a beer in our motel room and trying to anticipate the weather.   We have heard all day from the folks we met that there will be rain tomorrow.   Today was sunny and beautiful, but the forecast for tomorrow is rain and thunderstorms.  It should be an interesting last day in Missouri as we head to Quincy, Illinois tomorrow.
