I experienced Uber for the first time in Tulsa and I'm surprised it does not exist in Springfield. As I said to Chandler, when you have to reserve a cab in advance and it will still be late (as we have been warned about by locals in Springfield), there is a place for Uber. Fortunately, on our way into town, we stopped in a bike shop just before closing to find me a new tire. I don't know how I would have gotten to one if not for that good fortune. I plowed through my rear, one of the most durable touring tires made, in 1000 miles because of heat and weight. Jeff at Queen City Cycles didn't have a new one but had a low mileage set used that he let me have for a song. Thanks Jeff. We had a nice day off, stopping by a bookstore and coffee shop. Lunch on the square and an excellent Thai dinner. These little slices of civilization are nice. Springfield is a college town but school is out so we had the benefit of the restaurants, shops, and services without any waiting. Chandler and Lauren had a massage in the afternoon while I planned on laundry and route planning. Unfortunately neither could be done at the hotel because the laundry was out of order and the Internet was too. Bad show, University Plaza.
