Sharon becomes courageous and prepares to experience the wonders of Missouri on two wheels.  It was a beautiful day for cycling on the Katy Trail. 

Bruce and Cheryl Hibbettt, veterans from the 2003 AAA ride, and our gracious hosts in Jefferson City, accompany the current riders for the beginning miles of the day's ride.  We want to thank them for their gracious hospitality and introducing us to the Central Dairy Ice Cream Shop.

The beginning of the trail.  It just appears that Julie is going to run into the gate.  She later reported it as being "the best bicycle ride of my life".

Tara is escorting the riders across the bridge and offering words of encouragement.

The Mighty Missouri River.  Some brave souls are launching their water craft and preparing to enjoy a day of watersports. 

After a long afternoon of lazing by the side of the road with Kip, waiting to be found by the support crew, James loads his bicycle on the rack.  Kip had a blowout on his rear tire and miscommunications allowed them to enjoy a couple of hours alongside the road.  Eventually they were located by the Warden and his henchmen (and henchwomen) and taken into custody again.  One of these days they will again attempt a daring escape from the clutches of the evil Warden Joe and will entice the others to join. 

One of the many sights along the Katy Trail.  This building is located in the thriving metropolis of Treloar.
