Union, MO

July 23rd

Today was one of the most difficult rides of the trip so far.  We rode 105 miles and throughout the day had about 4800 feet of climbing.  The climbing was some of the steepest slopes we have seen all trip.  I was in the saddle for over 6 hours and over 8 hours on the road.  I hit a max speed of 48 mph today and was over 45 mph at least 10 times during the ride.  We had dinner at a local restaurant and then Drayton’s family sponsored us to go to Diary Queen for desert.  I called it an early night because I was dead tired after the ride today.
