It was hot (93 degrees F) and humid under sunny skies with very little wind to bother the riders. The first 25 miles were on the shoulder of US 36. We then joined US 11N, a lightly traveled country road with 148 rollers over 50 miles. Fun!

Missouri rollers go on and on and on...
Nice house in Brookfield.
I was surprised to see a live snake in the road. It was not concerned with me and the bicycle. I shooed it off the road after taking a picture so it wouldn't be road kill.
A blue barn!
Cattle country.
Gorgeous countryside.
More rollers.
Beautiful countryside. Glad you helped the snake.
ReplyDeleteRide on.
I want that house! Lovely. But so hot - yikes...
ReplyDeleteI want the blue barn!
ReplyDeleteIf it's 93 degrees with not a breeze in sight, you should be inside somewhere with a/c and a tall iced tea! Something's not right sir. I hope you found a chocolate milkshake at the end of your ride.
ReplyDeleteI stay hydrated and find the heat isn't oppressive while I'm in motion. It's when I stop that I can feel the heat. We had cool weather when we crossed the CA desert, but it has turned hot in the midwest. Yes, I got a large chocolate shake at McDonald's after arriving at the hotel. Yum.
