Chester, IL to Wilson-Rozier City Park in Farmington, MO - 50.8 miles
Woke up at 4:45 am again, which was a great decision because the heat index was around 100+ at noon time. We took a couple more pictures of Popeye's hometown before we descended out of Chester and down to the Mississippi.
It was still fairly dark when we crossed the bridge into Missouri.
Entering into Missouri for the first time in my life. 6 am.
This is the beginning of our venture into the Ozarks. We had heard tales of incredible slopes from riders passing the other direction. Today we had so good long climbs, but only a taste of what was to come.
Finished the day off in Farmington at the Bauhaus Kaffee for some smoothies. We arrived before noon so we had the whole day available, and since this place had wifi I decided to stay for a while.
While trying to catch up on my blog we met some amazing folk who felt inspired to hold a BBQ for us at the local park where we were staying. What they did for us was amazing saying thank you I felt was barely enough to show our gratitude. Great people! and thank you to all that came, brought food, and shared our company!
