Sunday 4th July 1999 -> St Joseph, Missouri

Breakfast was an adequate hotel buffet at 6am. I left the hotel about 6-40am under clear, sunny skies with increasing heat and a wind of 10-20mph, mostly cross with a tail wind component.

The first 50 minutes was spent traversing the first 11 miles out of town through red lights and intersections. From there, the country rolled as moved north east.

A couple of nice hill climbs punctuated the day, with a 1.5 mile climb through a park. I picked up 2 pieces of glass – 2 more punctures, with less than 9 miles to go, to give me 15 to date!

Total cycling for the day was 89.6 miles in 4hrs 34m with a maximum of 38.4mph. Another week completed!

Total riding for the week was 565.7 miles (910km) in 30hrs 03m at an average of 18.8mph (30.3kmh-1) with a maximum of 42.8mph (68.9kmh-1).

Sizzler buffet plus menu for dinner rounded off another week.
