Jingle Cross - - Heartland Tour

There's going to be some miles put on the ride this weekend as we make our way to the Jingle Cross races (approx 800 with all the detours). Leave Kansas City today heading to Milan, MO for Thanksgiving with some of the in-laws. Leave the kids there with Grandma for a couple days of R&R (Rest & Racing). The tour leaves Milan and heads north to Des Moines, IA for a visit with some great friends (old Denver friends), then to Iowa City on Saturday morning for races on both Saturday and Sunday. When we are totally exhausted on Sunday afternoon, we'll bounce back down to Milan, spend the night, and finally head back to KC on Monday.

Milan is conveniently situated in the northern part of Missouri near Iowa, with no access to interstates or major highways, just twisty curvy back country roads littered with farm trucks, tractors, and deer. This makes for an extraordinarily long trip to and fro.
