Monday was a bright, beautiful day. It was my first day back riding after my tumble, so it was important to get back in the saddle. We crossed the Missouri River at Atchison and headed southeast along the river's flood plain in Missouri. The terrain was gentle rollers, with a very slight tailwind. We were moving through the Missouri loess hills and into the prairie.
The vegetation was also shifting from the scrubby high plains plants of South Dakota and Nebraska into more lush Eastern-style forest vegetation.
We had a great lunch in Platte City, Missouri, at a tea shop/cafe, and ended our day by driving from Holt to Kansas City for our day off. We ate steak that night at Plaza III, one of Kansas City's famous swanky steakhouses.
I rode 42 miles that day, and they were 42 good ones!
