Seven. Sunny, hotter and more humid than yesterday, moderate SE winds. Ryan and I rode out East from Jeff City to Auxvasse Creek bridge and stopped for a light (bars) lunch as there weren't many places on this section of the Katy. Returned to Jeff City and went to Last Flight Brewing before returning to the same hotel as last night. Our mileage was similar to yesterday but the return trip was in the heat of the day and we felt the mostly uphill return. There's an incredibly overbuilt square structure (built to protect from flooding) in North Jefferson across the river that takes you up a series of ramps from the floodplain up to the highway bridge into Jeff City. We rode up it yesterday, down and up today and will descend it one more time tomorrow. We rode over to Last Flight Brewery on some city trails and had a few excellent beers and seltzers. Great drinks but no food. Ryan had a hankering for some BBQ so we hiked up to Sweet Smoke on High Street. More of a weekday spot, as we were the only ones there. Excellent KC style BBQ
