The highlight for the day was getting to ride the first 40km on the old route 66 road which has now been replaced with a major interstate 6 lane highway that runs parallel to it. Very few cars on the old route and thoughts of Elvis, Chuck, Johnny and other greats of the 60's rolled through the group over this trip down memory lane. Riding, rock and roll and a few beers .... near perfect and it gets a 9 today.
The weather continues to treat us kindly with cloud cover, temps in the early 80's and a light breeze. It made for a great days riding over the 120km to Mountain Grove with the long straights on Kansas being replaced by rolling hills that seem to be getting steeper. In 2 days we will be in the heart of the Ozarks so we will find out then how steep they really are. The corn fields are much higher here and the spring flowers seem to have hung on longer.

Nice picture of the Gnome amongst the red flowers. Reminds me of the Gnomes we saw on Danube river ride. Although those Gnomes had a few extra inappropriate body parts hanging out. Which is another reason this gnome reminds me of them. He also has a tendency to hang a few inappropriate body parts out. Plus he's the same height as them of course.
