For the third day of the Katy Trail Ride, the cyclists rode across the bridge back to the North Jefferson Shelter for a feast of a breakfast. Everybody was excited to see The Pancake Man perform while fixing their food. While entertaining, he cooked pancakes and sausage and cereal and fresh fruit were provided. After battling the long ride yesterday of 68 miles, today they cycled 38 miles to the winery in Rocheport. It was about 92 degrees and when the riders finished they found the nearest shade to relax their legs. Many of the riders ate at Les Bourgeois and some went on ahead and ran into Columbia for the afternoon.
Les Bourgeois was grateful enough to cater dinner to all of the riders and as expected the food was amazing. The riders were offered pork loin, fresh salad, vegetables, rolls and cake. After everybody made their way through the buffet lines, they sat and relaxed for the riders’ meeting delivered by some of the Department of Natural Resources staff. During the evening, the riders were able to kick back and enjoy a wine tent set up for their pleasure at the winery.
The third day of activities consisted of free wine tours of the vineyard and winemaking process and a chance to gaze at the stars with the Columbia Astronomy Club. They had to look past some of the clouds, but some of the riders gazed away. Tomorrow brings us to Sedalia and there is a chance of showers throughout the day. But, what would Missouri weather be like without some wet weather?! We’ll start off the day with the Pancake Man and get the riders on their way.
