Today's Ride-a day late!

Jason came over and met up with Gary for a ride to Waukee from Jefferson using the southern route through Panora. He arrived early and they took off at 6:30 AM. As an added gift to me he brought his tubular art! I love it! He also brought a new burn barrel for his dad.

Here are the guys getting ready for take-off.

6:30 AM

The conditions were perfect. Overcast, calm winds, and cool temperatures.

It started to rain in Jefferson so Butch got a bit antsy and thought we should make their pick-up vehicle more readily available if needed so we drove to Redfield and waited for them. This tar design in the pavement caught my artistic eye. It didn't rain anywhere else it seems.

They made it to the Waukee trailhead in good time in less than 5 hours, 52 miles.

They were a little worse for wear today. Gary said it was bit more challenging especially the last 8 miles. We enjoyed lunch at Patricks Restaurant in Adel Iowa. It is right on the trail and a very popular place for lunch.
