Hartville, MO - Ellington- miles 107 Ozark's are getting steeper

Set the alarm for 4:30am. On the road by 5:00. Dark but cooler. Today will be hot and wet. 

For you Tom. 

Met up with 4 guys riding east to west. Good to ride the Ozark hills with someone, misery loves company. 


We discovered the town of Ellington has a building set up for cyclist. All 5 of us spend the last night in our tents hot & sweaty and we're ready for a/c. After showers, the one a/c room for sleeping. Was as good as the Ritz.
