Traveling Missouri Rolling Hills

The last two days going to Chillicothe and Kirksville have been great for scenery and tough for hills. There has been an abundance of rain so the fields are all green and lush. The cows have been out grazing and the horses have been running through the fields. The weather has been perfect. Today it did her up to 90 on the bike but then a cloud cover took over.

Yesterday in Maysville the local historical society welcomed us to their little town. One gentleman got up at 4 am and made delicious cinnamon rolls for us. Several people turned put to welcome us as we rode into town two by two. What a nice event.

Both days involved many a climb. Some of the riders really likes the roller coaster hills. They would get enough speed going down to make it up the other side. I practiced it but the more tired I became the harder it was to get up the other side. At least I made it through every mile.

On to Illinois tomorrow.
