Today we rode from St. Joesph to Kirksville Missouri. 145 miles of Missouri rolling hills. Our route was detoured out of St. Joesph due to flooding. It was a glorious day with sunshine and a beautiful blue sky. David, Judd and I rode together the entire day taking short stops at the rest stops and sharing time at the front. We had more caffine in our body than allowable by the authorities so we were all glad there were no pee tests. Lots of laughs along the way and we rode past some Amish families in horse and buggy. There was a little girl w/ curls sitting on her mamma's lap in the buggie. I immediately thought of my middle daughter Libby as she had a head full of curls at that age.
Tomorrow we ride into my home state Illinois where I will get to see my sister and her husband Patrick as well as my cousin Amy Landes. Man life is so good! I think I could do this for a living if Jess doesn't mind and I can find someone who will pay me to do it. Make sure you tell your kids, husband, wife, friend that you love them.
Livin on the bike and loving it,
Rob

Rob, keep it up out there! I loved reading David's blog and yours about the Missouri ride. Reminds me of the ride we did in Central Missouri for the MS 150. Other than Mike scolding me the entire way about my "technique" it was really fun -- we are certainly no match on the bikes. I know what it was like to see just that small portion of the country from the bike and it's so amazing to see the rest of the country through your eyes! Mike is gearing up for his big annual talent show and I think he is going to make a Billie Jean appearance this year....only you can truly appreciate. Keep the blog going....you have no idea how many friends that have I reading this because I think its so amazing what you are doing -- they don't even know you! Enjoy your visit with Tracy. HK
