Hello!

I’m following my lifelong dream to ride my bike across the United States.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 26: Augusta, MO to Jefferson City, MO (0 miles)

Day 26: Augusta, MO to Jefferson City, MO (0 miles)

An unscheduled Recovery day. We were unable to get from Augusts to Tebbets due to flooding of the Missouri River. We used the van to get from Augusta to Jefferson City. On the way we stopped at Daniel Boone’s home and in Wentzville for coffee (and cannolis). We stayed at the Jefferson City Days Inn. I also was able to get some quick dental work done after chipping a tooth on a granola bar, but that’s another story. All is good, ready to ride.
