On to Fayetteville

Today was a shorter ride, only 93 miles, but with some good climbs thru the Ozark Mountains. They were not nearly as long as those in the Appalachians, but were challenging with the “rolling” hills. It was a great road to ride – scenic and little traffic. The only drawback was the lack of places to stop for a break – since there is such little traffic. It was a hot day, and we took advantage of the 2nd stop to refill water. The last quarter mile included a climb up a steep hill, not something you want to do at the very end of a ride. The church hooked us up with dinner and a great place to sleep – air conditioned rooms.
