    That retaining wall is made of test cylinders, the round things. Those are taken off a concrete truck into a plastic mold, allowed to cure, then broken normally to determine the strength of the concrete. Those were never broken but the plastic mold was removed.

    My wife and I rode 25 miles today, all the rural roads near our house. Once again near perfect day, light winds and temps in the low 70’s. We stopped to take a break on a ridge over a larger creek, a picture looking downstream, a bit of a log jam.

    Katy Trail opinions?

    We are considering a ride along the Katy Trail in Missouri. We are looking at the area near Jefferson City. Any opinions on the quality of the trail or the best area of it to ride?

    We rode 21 miles today. A near perfect day, no wind and about 68 degrees, it would normally be more like 88 this time of year. Because of the light winds we averaged 14.3 miles per hour which is fast for us. A picture at a rural cemetery we took a break at.

    Clothing complaint

    I think it’s the same for everybody no matter the size. My biggest complaint is the length of shirts in both the body and sleeves. I often buy talls even though I’m just over 6 feet tall.

    We rode 13 miles today. It’s turning very hot and humid with heat advisories. We finished before it got too bad. We rode through a neighborhood in town and saw this house that had a bad fire. I know someone who lives nearby and he said they are going to fix it. The pile of metal is the...

    Stefan, the roads are pretty narrow. We were with a tour group on a brand new bus, I don’t know how that driver kept it scratch free but he did.

    Papers please!

    I generally don’t see a lot of people abusing speeds on e bikes but it happens. We were on vacation in Idaho in Coeur d’ Alene and they had a bike trail and I saw people going about 30 mph on it, one with a bicycle with a small gas engine on it.
