Today's ride took me off of Route 66 to avoid Highway 96, which is a 55 MPH 2-lane road that replaced Route 66. The alternate route took me north into farm country. Today was the most enjoyable riding day I have had in Missouri. Traffic was light and it was relaxing. It was also not as hilly and there was a tailwind. Altogether it was a perfect sunny day. I rode 71 miles to Carthage, MO, just outside of Joplin. I will be in Oklahoma tomorrow.
