Day 48: Friday, May 27, 2011

35 miles to Golden City, Missouri
It wasn’t supposed to rain today.  Even the librarian in Golden City said that.  We had about 3 hours of bicycling before we saw dark storm clouds and lightening ahead.  One thing about this area is that you can see the weather system for miles and we could see that we were cycling just on the line between the storm clouds and clear skies.  Suddenly the temperature dropped dramatically and it began to rain and we made the decision to have Bob pick us up about 10 miles east of our final destination. 
I felt good being on the bicycle again and I had a short taste of riding about 20 mph on the straight highways with a slight tailwind.  Vincent, on the other hand, is having some serious knee issues and adjusting his bike to date hasn’t helped.  We plan to stop at the bicycle shop in Pittsburgh, Kansas and see if the person there has any other recommendations.
