Pittsburg, KS to Marshfield, MO
Don and I got up early to try and get in as many miles as possible to beat the heat that we knew was coming today. The problem was that Kansas is in the middle of an extreme heatwave and the temps were going to be hot. Well, it was and we battled most of the day with 100 degree temps and a heat index of 110 degrees:( We were able to put in 84 miles before we finally said that it was crazy and we were going to go into heat exhuastion by continuing. It was a good thing we stopped becuase it too a few hours for Don and I to get our core body temp down but we were still pretty tired and did not updated the blog. Sorry about that for you addicted followers:)Don was the unlucky rider of the day with two flat tires. I felt bad becuase it was so hot out and we normally only carry one spare tire, so he ha
We were starting to get into the ozarks and the rolling hills that we are riding on are a telling sign of what is to come.
