The Pancake Man started off the morning with his famous French toast, along with eggs, sausage, cereal, fresh fruit and juice. The skies were partly cloudy and most bicyclists were worried about the rainfall for their day of traveling. Most headed out on the trail right after breakfast to beat the storm that was soon to hit. By the middle of the day, some riders were already setting up their tents while others were a little farther behind. Around 1 p.m ., the rain came falling down at some of the SAG stops and the shuttle became very popular for a lift to Liberty Park.
Many people braved the rain and were in pretty good spirits even though most of their bags were on the extreme damp side! The staff tried to cover them up and keep them dry, but we couldn’t be so lucky! After waiting around for the storm to pass, the bicyclists lined up for an amazing dinner catered by Nadler’s. Dinner consisted of barbecue brisket, baked potato, pasta salad and scrumptious apple crisp.
As every one finished enjoying their last catered dinner, we started the riders meeting with a beautiful song sung by Clarence Blume. He sang America the Beautiful and did an outstanding job. The meeting was lead by intern Amanda Lee and there were more ballads during the meeting. The Columbia Unity Center entertained the crowd with a little song about the one and only Katy Trail Ride and did an outstanding job. Because Melanie Robinson is leaving Missouri this year for Little Rock, Ark., Clarence Blume and Larry Larson sang “My Girl” and thanked her for her exceptional work on the previous Katy rides. She will be greatly missed and it will be hard to find some one to fill her place.
