Day 33- Pittsburg to Marshfield

We're out of Kansas! And into Missouri with its hills. The other way
we noticed we left Kansas behind was the fact that roads stopped being
straight... We knew we had a long day ahead, so we loved the clouds
and the cooler temperature! Though the humidity is so high that even
on a cool day, you end up being soaked and feeling clammy. Around 2 in
the afternoon, the sun came out and it was hot as usual. I'm not
finding it too bad though unless I'm stopped in the sun... so much
sweat dripping down my face! The hills we climbed today were a warmup
to the Ozarks, which we'll get to properly the day after tomorrow. I
wasn't finding it too hard, even after 117miles, which I find very
pleasing... You know, great shape, thighs of steel and all that ;) I
was definitely not slower than the guys up the hills, and I'm the only
one who's not a big wuss and still carries their panniers! I'll get
into big trouble once they read this...
