July 24, 2008 Quincy, IL to Hannibal, MO

No pictures today. We have been blessed with wonderful weather...until today. Since each day ends at a new motel (except for rest days) we ride, rain or shine. It rained. In fact, there were thunder storms in the morning in Quincy. We left as the lightening was abating but it rained for much of the morning's ride. We got to Hannibal, MO and on the way I got a photo of the sign coming into Missouri but not much more. Toured the Mark Twain home and museum and dried out a little with the help of some hot cocoa with Sandy and a few others and then pedaled on to Louisiana, MO where we stayed overnight in a B & B.

About Me

Among my many passions: Cycling and helping others. As a cyclist this blog chronicles my dream of riding across these great United States of America. But as a veterinarian, having spent my career helping others, to make this epic ride complete, I am doing it with a purpose; to raise money through your sponsorship to help others.
