The cycling bug bit us once again
and we decided to test self-contained touring in the US. Our friends
thought we had lost our marbles. "You are asking to get run over
or mugged" and "American motorists hate bicyclists" is
what we were told. Undaunted, the next Friday, we threw our bikes in
the back of a rental car at the Nashville airport and drove to Missouri.
To our surprise, just one driver gave us 'the finger' (in Missouri),
otherwise, we encountered much courtesy and friendliness, both on the
road and off. During our 408 miles of cycling, we had great weather
and no mechanical problems, not even a flat tire. Our route is highlighted
on the clickable map below and the following pages have pictures and
annotations about the trip
