celebratorywhat a fine time sharing the "eastern MO" part of Wil's great bike adventure. Wil and I left about 9 on Thursday morning, I from our home in South St. Louis City, headed west to meet Wil who was riding in from Augusta, which is almost equi-distance in the west and he rode East! We met at the TRailhead brewery for a huge lunch - I rode thru some light drizzle but by the time we finished eating (great onion rings!) the roads were mostly dry. We enjoyed a nice ride (some light rain!) through Creve Couer Park, then for 7 miles on Midland boulevard into Forest Park and then finished up the 30 miles to our home across the street from Tower Grove Park! Early Friday morning Jim and I escorted Wil into the downtown traffic and halfway across the Mississippi river where we parted ways, very grateful to have shared the "good journey" for a bit! We are inspired to dream of our own trip in the near future! Thanks, Wil - safe miles and good people...
