We just rolled into St. Louis . . . our penultimate city! Today on the road we had 3 ham sandwiches, countless granola bars, 4 camel packs, some grapes, a banana, stale candy, and three flat tires. We rode about 115 miles, and we are staying with Janey the Firecracker :) She is the twin sister of a lady in Atlanta who knows Alexa and her family. Jan greeted us with hugs and lasagna - a great host . . . and with that I wanted to salute all of our Missouri hosts thus far!
We stayed with the Sauciers last night in Jefferson City. They have 6 grown children, so taking care of two worn out cyclists and their support crew was no problem for them. We had a Capital time:
In Columbia we stayed with my relatives,the Robinsons. Paul and Susan rode with us for the first 10 miles of our trek, and Paul's step-Dad, "Grumps" (not pictured) egged us all on from the house:
In Warrensburg we stayed with a friend of a friend, Rod. Unfortunately we forgot to take a picture with Rod, but we did become friends on facebook . . . so I grabbed this one off of the internet:
I think I'm going to introduce Rod to Claire of blogs past . . .
