1/3 of the way to Hermann MO. 21.7 miles. Loaded up like a rented mule,
Things are going well. I am making good time. I am carrying everything for the trip. Beautiful day almost no wind, sunny, and dry.
Have ideas about how to rearrange stuff, but it is pretty much as I expected. The bike is doing great.
