Yesterday we had our first bike crash as Anna fell in to the side of the road. Luckily she landed in the mud and not the pavement and has no road rash, merely bruises. And unfortunately we have no pictures of Anna covered from head to toe in mud (we were too concerned for her safety to reach for the camera). Still, we thought it prudent to take a rest day (the local news was attempting to issue a heat advisory). After breakfast we found out that our friend Cesar from Caltech was doing the TransAm West -> East with his girlfriend, Gaby. We immediately rented a car and 5 hours later we were on our way to meet them in Marshfield, MO. Once they showered it was off to Springfield, MO for some dinner, catching up, and exchanging tips and rest stops.
For anyone not looking at a map, that's about 5 hours driving round-trip, so we slept in till 8:45 am today. Now, we must pack up and head to the bike shop, so more updates later. In the meantime, check out http://fleethecube.com/transamerica/.
