Today began with a wake up at around 5am - not from loud music, but from thunder, rain and lightning outside. Unfortunately, the terrible weather continued throughout the day, keeping us bike riders stuck in Montgomery City. Our hosts were great, bringing us food throughout the morning and afternoon, and even playing board games with us.
Around 3pm, we finally started the shuttling process to Fayette, MO, stuffing as many bags, bikes, and bikers into the vans as possible. It took two trips, but everyone finally made it in (clean and dry) to Fayette.
We were all bummed that we didn't get to bike at all today, but our spirits (and stomachs) were uplifted when we saw what can only be described as an endless variety and quantity of food our hosts provided for dinner. It was delicious, and I think all other meals might pale in comparison.
The weather for tomorrow's ride in Sweet Springs for an (official) day off seems good, and we are all excited to get back on the bikes.
