We start our 51 mile day from Sedalia to Rocheport at 6:45. Angela and Sharie lead the way through the morning dew.
The Dixons stop by one of the few if not only remaining train signals left from the original railway.
We meet Glenda Sue in Pilot Grove where she operates an organic store across from the Caseys’s. She was one of the original founders of the MO Organic Farm organization and still serves as an auditor for farms around the country. She also makes a wicked peach pie jams and sandwiches.
This was the $4 slice of pie we bought. It was almost half of the pie!
The ladies continue to lead the way during the afternoon as we make our way towards Booneville.
Our first sighting of the mighty Missouri River from the old Katy Bridge in Booneville .
We been passing Justin off and on today without ever speaking but after crossing the Missouri River at Booneville we found him in distress over a blister on his little toe. Ang gave him some moleskin and I some Vaseline to reduce the friction on then toe. I expect we’ll see Justin from Warsaw MO later.
The Dixons ride into the tunnel just before we get to our stop for the night, Rocheport, right as a thunderstorm was breaking out. We stayed dry though by having some food and drink at the Merriweather Bike Cafe.
After cleaning up from the hot day at a little and slightly weird Katy Trail B&B we enjoy a nice sunset and dinner of steak, pork Wellington, and beef stroganoff at the Bistro Le Bourgeois. Tasty.
We take in the dusk over the Missouri River as we walk back along the Katy to get some rest for the next day.
