Well, it was a bit cold riding to Joplin, left the house Wednesday, 41 degrees. Crossed the Cumberland Plateau it had dropped to 31 and snow flurries. Nothing stuck, warmed back up slowly to a high of 52. Spent the night in Van Buren MO on Current river at a nice place we like. Went to Big Springs in the morning and on to Joplin, to their before the rain. Got a couple short rides on Friday and Saturday between the rains. Nice 663 mile ride home yesterday, started out at 48 and warmed quickly to 60 then eventually hit 70 degrees. Put 1398 miles on the bike.
