Saturday I was able to have dinner with a college buddy and his wife. Friendships are precious, but this was special. We didn't seven catch up, it was more like we'd never been apart.
Sunday was the first and most challenging day of the ride to Saint Louis. I left around 6am to avoid the heat. Climbing from the KC river valley is challenging and was slow going to get past Lees Summit. Even then, I was almost on schedule outside of Warrensburg when I was forced to make several hours of unscheduled rest stops when a band of thundershowers came through.
I still managed to finish the tough day going over what looked to be a field of broken glass. Fortunately it was just a gorgeous supply ubiquitous obsidisan in the road aggregate.
