my ride went very well. i hit rain in mo, just outside of st louis, on my way to pa. the weather there sucked, 50's and rain. but i had a good time with my kids. the ride back was good as well, but did hit more rain. in indiana, missouri, and oklahoma. the trucks on the road were very considerate, no one tried to run me over. a few cars tried, but fortunately i was watching for them. i have posted pics of the state lines, and a few of my kids, all future bikers. i did no sight seeing, so there are no pics of that. ride safe. ox
