For this Leg, I will be joined by daughter Leslee for Days 2 through Day 6, from St. Charles to Clinton MO.  She will be riding The Silver Streak, my original Catrike Expedition on which I put 18,000 miles.

I picked up The Silver Streak in Chicago where I had previously it shipped to Corky, my Leg 1 riding buddy, and (very) old friend.

To handle now both The Silver Streak and The Orange Flash (a newer Catrike, the 559 Model), a special bike carrier was absolutely necessary.
