Jeff’s Missouri Bicycle Trip Report - PostludeWhole trip: 549 miles in 96 hours, 50 minutes = 5.7
mph. Here’s an unreadable track map of the entire bike trip.
We had a great time at Bill and Laurie’s - very laid-back. We slept late, watched DVD movies, went shopping, ate well (both at “home” and out), and visited places to see in Springfield. On Wednesday morning I received emails from my father-in-law and George and Kris. I was finding this BlackBerry handy. Friday Laurie had to go back to work, and it was the day for us to return home. We packed the trunk, and then mounted the bike to the car, using a bike carrier friends of ours let us use. Bill was a big help with securing the carrier and the bike.
We left at 10:20 a.m., arriving home at 6:02 p.m. By car it’s a 380 mile trip. After unpacking, I weighed myself, curious if I had lost any weight: 210 pounds. Nope - a 0.5 pound gain. Must have been all that good eating at Bill and Laurie’s! Well, that’s the report. I hadn’t envisioned it would
take 6 months to put it together!
