In the middle of nowhere...that's where today's race was. On the private residence of the Tong Family farm, I completed state #37, outside of Joplin, Missouri.
Here are the highlights: 100 degrees, hot, corn fields, 81 degree water, armadillo roadkill, Route 66, did I say hot?, rented bike from RD (photo included), sweet sled, Sargent John Lee, painful feet, pristine farm, super nice people, pulled pork and ice cream post-race, 1st place in age, did I say hot?
Next stop, Colorado.
