Submitted by Brent Hugh on Thu, 09/18/2003 - 9:03pm
Liberty cyclist Ed Chasteen continues his stories about the people and places he's seen in his quest to ride 10,000 miles this year. He starts out by saying something nice about MoDOT:
Orthopedic surgeons must work long hours for the Missouri Department of Transportation. How else to explain the total recovery of the broken shoulder to either side of Highway 210 as it runs past Orrick? For the past few years the shoulder had deteriorated almost daily, until it was hazardous for cars that might need to pull off the road and life threatening for bicycles trying to give way to 18 wheelers on the road. Now completely recovered and inviting, the shoulder is a reason to bike this way.Sun News of the Northland has the rest of the story.
