day 30

28 June 2008



We made it to Missouri today! It rained again last night, but not nearly as much as the night before, and then drizzled and rained on us for most of the ride.

About five miles into our ride I got a flat tire. I've had a spare tire on the back wheel of my bike since just before we got to Utah. It was a cheap tire, and it was basically worn out. That was why I got a flat. So we patched it and put the new spare tire on. It's a much better tire, and won't wear out.

We had a little shorter than normal ride today. We went 68 miles. And we had a tail-wind for much of the ride, so it was a fairly easy day. We rode to Golden City, MO, but we're staying in Lamar, because it's bigger, and has a church.
