47 miles. Chester, Illinois. to Farmington, Missouri. I started at 5:45 and got here at 11:30. Why such a short day? I could not pass up staying at Al's Place. This is likely the finest cycling hostel in the country. It is a historic jail that was converted into a loft apartment/hostel for cross country cyclists. It is nicer than our house. It is only a year old and it has everything. If I could stay in a place like this every night I would just send for Debbie and Annie and live on the road.
I crossed the Mississippi river into Missouri first thing this morning. I had about an hour of nice flat riding with no wind. After that I got a taste of the Missouri roller coaster hills. It was extremely humid and I was soaked. I met Andrew on the road. He was headed east to Yorktown after starting in San Francisco. The rest of the day will be devoted to laundry, lunch and lounging.
