Wednesday 7th July 1999 -> Kirksville, MO

Pancakes plus cereal plus doughnuts etc with frozen juice pottles was breakfast at 6.30am. Luggage was loaded at 7am.

I left at 7-10am under a clear blue sky with the slightest touch of a head/cross wind. The road was generally o.k. and rolled all the way – some were quite steep but it was big chain ring all the way. HR 110-150+.

Sag 1 was at 25 miles in a beautiful park in the small town of Brookfield. Sag 2 at 47 miles was in the wops.

I reached town, nothing to it!, about 11-35am after 75.4 miles in 4hrs 04m with a max of 39.3 mph. Scenery was very NZ – paddocks and trees, crops etc.

Dinner was a solid buffet at the hotel – salad plus pasta and mince plus bread and lasagne and dessert.
