lunch at Lambert's Cafe. We were greeted by waiters throwing hot rolls
at us and a sorghum guy making the rounds with a spoon. There were
also okra lady, macaroni man and baked beans boy, among others. Our
server, Maxine, sent us off with cinnamon rolls the size of our heads.
Kathleen and I pedaled 70 miles through soybean and corn fields along
back roads, finally arriving at Lake Wappapelo. We competed in a 12
mph race with a tractor, crossed lots of one-lane bridges and baked in
the long stretches of roads without shade. And, today was the first
day of Kathleen's leg of the ride that we didn't get a flat! All in
all, it was pleasantly eventless.
The breeze began to strengthen a little today. I think this begins the
next few weeks of headwinds and cornfields.
