Fast 48 10/3/2016


Great ride today with Peggy and Paul—This was Peggy’s longest bike ride on gravel and she rode strong. It would not be too over the top to say that the great breakfast that Joey and Rich prepared is a major factor in our successful run.
We were graced with new wildlife, good snacks for lunch along the trail, and despite some rough patches on the trail, everyone remained upright.
It was exhilarating to cross the Missouri on the separate bikeway up to and across the Highway 54 bridge. And then Paul guided us on a quick trip through city streets to the Baymont Inn & Suites.  Based on a recommendation from Joey, we decided to eat at Madison’s Café .  We were not disappointed!  (Well, Rob was because they had run out of Spumoni.) Good night from the State Capitol, Jefferson Mo. – Diane and Rob

We climbed from the trail to bridge across the Missouri River via a "square spiral" bike ramp.

Now for the wildlife and flower shots of the day!
Morning Glories.....
