Day 35: Who let the dogs out

107 miles. Averaged 14 mph. We met a bunch of friendly cyclists today. First, we met Dennis Howe at www.dennishowe.blogspot.com. Next, we met a group of fifteen or so went by that we're all touring together with Adventure Cycling. Then we met a group of four guys later on in the day who had all met up at various points of their trip. Three of the have a blog which is www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/caravanofcrazies. The other guy, Nick, has a blog at www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/nicktransam2010. They gave us a great tip on a place to stay for the night in Ellington, MO. Nice meeting you all, thanks again! Supposedly, there is a site called warmshowers.org which helped us to find Herman. He was so kind to let us stay at his place and especially for the shower. Thank you so much! The number of bloodthirsty dogs has been beggining to increase. We heard Kentucky will be the worst. The leader of the 15 person tour broke his collar bone because a dog got caught in his gears and caused him to crash ending his trip. Dennis had a little can of pepper spray and said he had to use it a few times. Hopefully, we'll be ok and can ward off these dogs with our unpleasant stench. We would hate to use our bear mace. Shout out to Linda, Leon, Pastor Bill, and the rest of the congregation at Faith Fellowship Church. It was great to feel so welcomed even with our cycling clothes on. Thanks so much for the cookies and ham sandwiches! God bless you all.

Wow, that's a lot
