The mystery solved...


A look at some of the rolling terrain that made up today's ride. It never stopped!


We started noticing these weird marks along the road shoulder. At first I thought: "wow, there are a lot of cyclists around here"


As we approached Jamesport,MO (a Mennonite community), and say this sign it all started to make sense.


A Jamesport traffic jam on Rt. 6!


Rob and Judd dropping the guy on the horse! He's demanding a rematch in the morning.

About that rematch...

The maximum stride length for a horse is about 7 meters, with a stride rate of 2.25 strides/second and a top speed of 70 km/hr. A horse would outrun a cheetah over long distances but is no match over short distances.

I'd bet on you three 'cheetas' in the long haul, but my money would be on the horse, (okay, not that particular horse) in a shorter race.

Glad you guys enjoyed the care package and card, (including stick picture drawings by Nora)...

Rob, David told me some of the stories about you guys going in the packing plant today looking for food, and I laughed so hard I thought I'd never stop! You sure are impressing the locals in all that spandex...

Have fun!
