Ride Day 8 - Photo #4 - "Dorena-Hickman Ferry"

Most of the day's ride is due South in Missouri on the flattest roads of the entire ride, close to the Western bank of the Mississippi River. This year, a strong wind out of the North was at our backs for this portion of the ride, and we were able to sustain speeds in excess of 20 mph for many miles. The Missouri portion of the ride concludes at a small ferry across the Mississippi River, from Dorena, Missouri to Hickman, Kentucky.
