Maybe I should have checked the forecast before cleaning my bike yesterday. Today the prediction was a 70% chance of rain so it didn’t look great for bikers. Oh well. An expression I learned on WomanTours is “There is no bad weather, just poor clothing choices.” The rain actually held off for most of the day. This allowed for some amusing times playing in a wheat field and looking at catfish ponds.
The rain didn’t start until mile 45 or so. We still had about 20 miles to go so on went the rain gear and it was heads down and pedal.

The accommodations tonight are the Comfort Inn in beautiful Clarksdale. People here, and along our entire route (including the drivers) have been exceptionally nice at all times. I’m afraid that Lee (from Australia), Monika (Austria), Moira (Scotland) and Bernadette and Yolande (Holland) may get a very different picture of the United States as we get farther north.
