Day 18: Palmyra, Missouri
Today's route took the riders 160 miles over rolling terrain to Palmyra, MO, home of BF crew worker Kim. (Actually, the ride stopped a little short of Palmyra and the riders took a shuttle--the shuttled miles will be added back tomorrow.)
The riders are staying in Palymra's Sesquicentennial Building tonight. Not much sleep is anticipated, due to the nearby Fourth of July festivities.
Today was the first day the riders got really rained on--at one point, the road was washed out, and they had to trek across a 100-yard-long gully.
Ken crashed today (just some road rash), but recovered and put in a Tour de France-like performance on the road.
7 riders are on the road. Tomorrow, they will ride south to Hannibal, MO, for a stop at the Mark Twain memorail. TV coverage is planned--we will link to it if we can.
