USA Coast to Coast stage 24 St Joseph MO to Chillicothe MO
140KM, 1,339M climbed, 5 hours 53 minutes
Total 3,047KM, 17,920M climbed, 123 hours 43 minutes
Certainly one of the hardest riding days of the trip so far, hot (32C), humid (90%) and many many small hills of which we are promised even more tomorrow.
After about 30 miles we had a pleasant surprise when we all stopped at a junior school in a village called Maysville and the children came out to talk to the cyclists. We then rode 2 blocks further and were treated to cake and drinks made by the lovely ladies from the Dekalb County Historical Society. We also had a quick visit to their museum which contained lots of memorabilia from the last 15 years of American history.
We finished the ride in Chillicothe which claims to be the home of sliced bread as the first sliced bread machine was invented here.
