Ste. Genevieve to St. Louis, 42 miles? 64 mile?


This was one of the best days of riding so far--we traveled the Bluff road along, well, the bluffs, of course! The scenery was magnificent, the weather was....well, mostly great....the route was flat. The route sheet left much to be desired. We spent a lot of time stopping and trying to figure out where we were. Anne from Fargo drove the SAG wagon today, and she was running like crazy to keep track of us and help us figure out where we should REALLY be turning! The route was also 13 miles longer than planned, and that meant that some of us got caught in a rainstorm about ten miles from the finish. Oops.

We got soaked, but at least the lightning wasn't cracking near us. The women who beat the storm by minutes said the lightning was wild around the hotel, so we were really quite fortunate.
This lovely photo is of me, pedaling, and was taken by me, while pedaling! I am still trying to figure a way to get my photos to Annie for the website. Nothing seems to work!

Happy trails,

Dusty
