Saturday, Aug 8 Ride
Rode the "Touch the Arch" ride today. It was a cooker out there today. After about 11:00 AM, the pavement was hot and you could feel the heat coming off the surface of the street. Sort of felt like you were in an oven and getting cooked from all sides.
Four riders total on the route (Victor, Steve, Mark, Dan). We started with two and picked up two along the route.
Route specifics downloaded from my Garmin (thanks Mark for the IT tutorial).
Ended up riding about 75 from start to finish (forgot to turn Garmin on a time or two hence the mileage on mapomyride showing 69.24.
Touch the Arch Ride (69.24 mi.)

Hope to see more out there given the MS Ride is coming up soon!

MS Ride Sep 2009 Columbia, MO - Lodging Related
Regarding lodging options for MS Ride in Sep...
As you are already aware, the MS start location has moved for 2009 and will be located at Boone County Fairgrounds. Just North of and US-63. For those who prefer the amenities a hotel has to offer, I have 6 rooms reserved at Holiday Inn Express at the same exit I-70 (exit 128). Well, actually 5-1/2 rooms reserved as I am looking for someone to share a room with as well. Each room has two beds and are non-smoking. The rate is $144/night (including tax) or $72/bed/night if sharing room. This hotel opens up the free breakfast early for the riders so plenty of time to eat and then head off to the MS start location. They also have washer/dryer facilities (for those who wish to wear fresh team jersey on day 2).
If you are in need of a room (or rooms), or wish to share a room to minimize costs, please email me and let me know. I will release any vacant rooms by Aug 24. Most hotels in that are already showing no availability. First come, first served with priority given to Affton Truckers/Confidus Team members. Directions/Locations:
