Hello from Grove, Oklahoma! We were all pretty excited to hit two state lines today, since we rode in Missouri for twenty miles or so before hitting Oklahoma. We also rode together as one big pack for most of the day, since it was just a measly 58 miles, which was pretty cool at times. Unfortunately, the rain picked up pretty heavy again today, and it's looking like more tomorrow. I'm sure we'll miss the cooler weather and clouds once we hit Arizona, but for now I'd like my shoes to dry out. Fortunately, we have a really great host site here in Grove, the First United Methodist, which has set us up in their very comfortable fellowship hall and cooked us spaghetti, bread, cookies and ice cream (not cooked). We joined their youth group meeting tonight and Ryan gave a great presentation about Bike and Build, challenging the community here to start their own Habitat chapter or find other ways to address housing needs. Afterwards we had another affordable housing curriculum meeting among ourselves, learning about the history of HUD (the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development) and public housing in the US. Now it's way past my bedtime and I'm going to hit the hay.
Bike odometer: 1522 miles

Apparently Missouri ran out of numbers one day; we were riding on Hwy Zero (MO-0)

Those are 18 great sets of legs! Gotta wonder about the looks you will get in your swimsuits in San Diego with those biker tan lines.
