Day 5 -
June 27, 2003 -
Augusta to St. Charles
Friday, the last day of the ride, began with the Pancake Man flipping fantastic flapjacks for breakfast at 6 a.m. He flipped pancakes to anyone who wanted to try to catch them on their plates. Along with pancakes, riders enjoyed scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, sausage links, cereal, milk and coffee.
After breakfast, riders were off again to their final destination – St. Charles. Riders had SAG stops in Weldon Spring and Greens Bottom. Today’s ride was a total of 27 miles and the high today was 86 F. The riders couldn’t have asked for a better riding day than today. On their ride into St. Charles, they could see historic downtown, home of the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site and many restaurants and antique stores.
The St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau provided lunch. Riders enjoyed their choice of roast beef, turkey, or veggie sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit and soda. Katy Trail State Park pins were given to those riders that participated in the passport questions each day. Many riders appeared to enjoy the ride and were asking about next year.
Passport Questions for today:
1. How many times does the Katy Trail pass over or under Interstate 70 between Clinton to St. Charles? 3 (West of Boonville, East of Rocheport, West of St. Charles)
2. Why was the Lewis and Clark Boat House in St. Charles built? To display keelboats similar to those used by Lewis and Clark.
