Day 11 recap

Started the day early, 5:45 early, in an attempt to avoid the heat. Made good time through Illinois, over the Mississippi, and into Missouri. Went into a bit of a daze around midday but a temple on the hill revived me. Ran into a bit of thunder, lightning and big rain in the afternoon. Just enough to cool things off.

Ended the day in Centerville, Missouri. I'm camping on the courthouse lawn, no kidding.

It was the first day since Day 1 that I've ridden without pain. Discomfort, of course, but nothing that made me swear. All told, I rolled 138 miles today. Tomorrow, I get into the heart of the Ozarks.
