22 Across the Wide Missouri
Time to get back aboard the bikes and we were ready. It was a down hill run toward the river then a perilous crossing on the Broadway Bridge. Morning traffic and drain covers that seemed to be designed to trap a bicycle wheel added to the difficulty. Then freeway or expressway riding between the airport and train yards. It was almost 2 hours before we broke into beautiful countryside.

We thought that dumb phrase came from Willy Nelson???
