“Give ‘er hell, give ‘er hell” as this guy shouted with dip, making a fist out of a huge pickup. Just after he yelled at us we ascended a 2 mile 12% climb.
Early morning with a 5:20am start for our 108.4 mile ride to Eminence, MO.
We gained 6,867 feet of elevation & rode in a mist for about an hour (no real rain yet). Clouds covered us for most of the day making today’s ride quite pleasant.
We’re definitely in a different culture than SF with confederate flags & huge trucks. Happy to be at our B&B with a few Coors Lights. Thanks to Marissa & Drew for sponsoring!
Cheers!
Side note: there is a Winona 11 miles away, sadly we won’t ride through it, but we did take a picture of the sign! No bikes in grass due to ticks.
Nowhere, no-how else would Coors Light look (or taste?) so good! Under those conditions, you really do want a beer that’s mostly water.
Also, it turns out that Winona MO is home to the largest baseball cap manufacturer in the US! See http://www.paramountapparel.com/news/winona-missouri/
