Today was an interstate ride across the eastern portion of Kansas and across Missouri stopping near St Louis.
The trip was uneventful with a stop at a welcome center just outside the Kansas City Stadiums for lunch. The scernery was no less captivating than yesterday with lots of corn and sunflowers and cows.
In the middle of the afternoon a gas stop was extended by a small mechanical problem, a broken shift rod leaving us unable to get out of second gear as we got on the entrance ramp. A temporary repair using 2 plastic zip ties would get us back on the highway. A tatooed guy in a pickup stopped to check on us and directed us to the next dealership 5 miles up the road for a $20.00 replacement. Rather than take time to replace it there, we decided to ride on using the temporary fix til we reached the hotel near St Louis.
This morning we ride through town and may stop to see the Arch on our way to Nashville... hopefully it will go smoother than last year where we got lost and caught in rush hour traffic leaving town.
