George wanted the Brewery, while Kitty wanted to do the winery......We did both What a beautiful day to ride in Missouri....We entered Missouri and it was completely flat as soon as we went over the bridge from Illinois. But it was very short lived, George was back on the windy roads with lots and lots of hills to climb, in no time. He really enjoyed this ride as roads are little wider, but more than that the views were gorgeous and lots of cows, he could moo with. I discovered that we are in the wine country. There are some really beautiful wineries here. I have not sampled any wine yet (not that I would really know a good wine from a bad one) but hope to try some tomorrow. I also found out about a tiger sanctuary (one of the vineyards have some rescued tigers) and am going to do a tour there tomorrow. I found all these things just driving on the bike route and did some detours. Love these kind a detours, too bad that not all the detours end up this nice. So, we both loved our first day in Missouri. The only bad thing that's happening is that George's bike is acting funny (I think its something to do with the derailleur, the gears are not shifting properly). Ironically, he had no issues with the bike thus far on this tour and the very first ride after the bike maintenance day, his bike has issues.... nuff said...
