Jake is cool. He can break the speed limit.

Train-hopping.

Termite writing down directions for the route to Jacksonville, IL.

Emma hearts Katie.

Chris has the strength of a thousand suns! Just like Abe Lincoln.

Illinois College (Jacksonville, IL) greeted us with free shirts and water!

IC also made Eric a TV star.

Riding through the IC campus.

Nicole got a bike upgrade...

Thanks to IC for feeding us!

Look closely. It's a "4K" in the sky.

Passing by cornfields on the way to St. Louis, MO.

Having the luxury to use real bathrooms on the road makes us happy.

With the kind folks who opened up their front lawn and bathrooms to us.

The white van, all decked out.

Bike-trailing it to St. Louis.

Bunking up in a Lewis and Clark fort we passed by.

Luckily, the bridge isn't actually a chain of rocks.

STRENGTH and POWER over the Mississippi.

Hello, Missouri.

Farewell, Illinois.

Clare riding by the St. Louis murals we passed.

A St. Louis cyclist saw and joined us on our way to WashU.

We got to stay at the WashU Koenig House. Jake was flattered.

Looking at the map in the St. Louis Hope Lodge.

The St. Louis Hope Lodge residents shared their stories with us.

Home away from home--group picture with the residents.

The Arch at nighttime. We look like something out of the Rent opener.

By the waterfront.

Pushing to Montgomery City. Since when did Missouri have rolling hills?

To the West!

Together, Chris and Ersin make a "4K."

High-Five

Rolling hills?? In Missouri??!?

Chris can do tricks on his bike.

In addition to fostering hope, we also save turtles from cars.

During dinner, we met this adorable couple who's been married for 60 years!

In Fayette, we met Glenna, a super-nice barista at the local cafe. Thanks for your help, Glenna!

Aww, it's kissing her.
