Day 2 - June 21, 2005 - Pilot Grove to Hartsburg
After camping overnight in Pilot Grove, the riders woke to a beautiful Missouri morning. The Pan Cake Man made his first appearance of the ride to flip pancakes to the riders for breakfast. 
The riders took off afterwards on the trail headed for Hartsburg. The weather cooperated all day by providing hot temperatures and sunny skies. When the riders arrived in Hartsburg, they were greeted by helpful volunteers that showed them to the campsites located throughout the town. The Hartsburg Lions Club served dinner. After dinner, the participants gathered on the main street of Hartsburg for the riders’ meeting, lead by Melanie Robinison, to talk about what to expect for the next day’s ride. Jim Denny, Missouri Department of Natural Resources historian, gave a program on the history of Katy Trail State Park. Also, the cyclists had a chance to view the stars with the Columbia Astronomy Club. The weather stayed clear for the evening as the riders rested for the third day of the trip.
