Branson - a rest day, though I had a three hour client meeting with the Branson CVB. Meeting went great - these are really nice people - then I proceeded with the unusual and very difficult task of doing absolutely nothing. Ate lunch, walked around the shops, did a few emails, played KenKen and caught up on Glee. Nothing.
Andy plays against Trinity, one of the top teams in the country tonight, and I'm bummed out because they're not showing it online. Instead, it's an early dinner, get the cycling stuff ready and generally continue the pursuit of absolutely nothing.
We're down to 12 cycling days left, but most of them are 100+ miles and this will be our most concentrated set of climbing days of the entire trip, so things should stay interesting over the next few days. I'm sensing the home stretch, but it's uphill all of the way. Missouri and the Ozarks are basically one long series of uphills followed by downhills - bigger than rollers and smaller than mountains. This seems better than pedaling into the wind all day, but we'll see.
Overall, it's quite a useful skill I'm picking up. Whenever you want to ride your bike 100+ miles a day for several consecutive days, I'm your guy! Anyone? Anyone?
Night.
