Today was more downhill followed by immediate uphill, but I enjoyed it. Road quality stayed very nice. People continued to be very courteous about getting over. Once when I stopped for a breather in the shade, a van came to a stop to ask if I was OK. They were cyclists too and know that things can breakdown. I thanked them and thought how nice it was that they offered to help. As I would top some of the hills, there were views of the valleys full of trees, occasional barns and a smattering of cattle. It was quite pretty.
It had not quite hit 100 degrees by the time I rolled into Houston, Missouri for the day. So, I would say it is time for some ice cream. Not seeing a local spot for the tasty treat, I settled for an ice cream sandwich from the Shell Station. It was still good and I could cool off in the A/C. No campgrounds to be had in this town of 2,082 people. So, we stayed at the Lazy L Motel. Having been recently renovated, it was very nice. With company coming tonight, it works better this way. Josh and John are going to ride with me tomorrow to Eminence and Amy will join the SAG team. So, it should be fun!
Amish House, do you see the little girl on the front porch?

OK, I say everyone should vote for Bubba
