Missouri may be a wonderful state to visit but when riding it was not the most pleasant. It is all hills and not those nice rolling hills of Kansas but she has crossed the line into Illinois. And for the last 3 days it has been 100 miles for each one.
Marilyn's back was bothering her at the beginning of the week and for 2 days she wore a back brace but please make note that she still continued to ride in pain. And you can add one more flat tire this week so that makes 6.
Today was probably her best day ever and she rode about 15 miles more than she should have. But she rode with Carole and they were just silly because they kept taking so many wrong turns. The roads are not well marked and all you have are corn fields so it is easy to miss a turn. But she did manage to have ice cream twice today so that is always a plus.
Marilyn was actually sitting in a hot tub while I was taking notes and then she was moving into the pool then will do her nightly ritual of sitting on ice.
The Korean camera crew is back and filming unfortunately they were all standing and filming in front of one of our turns so that was another detour.
So at 36 days it can get a bit intense with all the pressures of riding but all is well and she still has the energy everyday to start riding again.
She will be in Indianapolis on Monday for another day of rest. Marilyn says hello to all......

Too bad you didn't have Joy and her Korean gong with you. That would have cleared out that Korean group!
