Franklin County

Yesterday was terrible despite collecting the Missouri 50 Rides and three dealerships. By the time I got to the hotel in Springfield, I was so wet and cold that I had to wear a bedsheet toga so I could put all of my clothes in the dryer. Luckily, they were done before the dinner at the dealership. But no way was I riding anymore, so I Ubered. Over 400 miles in that terrible weather. Why do I do this to myself? 🤣

But today!! Very cold at 39°F but a beautiful sunny sky! Long johns on top and bottom, my hoodie AND my sweatshirt over my coat, and two pairs of gloves kept me from freezing. (Bill loaned me a pair of gloves because my thick, heated gloves are still wet from yesterday 😭.)

I'm riding with Pete and Bill again today, but we're off the recommended route so we can ride the Arkansas 50 Rides a day early. It's called the Pig Trail and it's a twisty turny rollercoaster of a road! Woohoo!!

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
