When is the Tour of the Ozarks? I've heard that's a pretty tough ride. Does it start in Rolla?
Cheers!

My goals are pretty small compared to all this. Buy a road bike; get my husband to buy a bike. Continue riding with the club and try to do at least 1500 miles by the end of 2007. Hope that a lighter bike will make doing the Perrysville ride a little easier (I'm a hill slug).
You should never stop learning:

Maureen: They don't have the dates yet for 2007, but DNR hosted a ride, supported, starting at St. Charles and ending in Clinton. You can check the website - www.bikekatytrail.com - for more info. They also list places you can catch the train to get to your car and stuff like that.
Teresa: Tour of the Ozarks isn't TOO bad (some killer hills but GORGEOUS scenery!). It starts at Buehler Park in Rolla (usually a police escort out of town). Their website - http://www.touroftheozarks.org/ - has maps to help give an idea of where each route goes. They have 12, 25, 50, and 100 mile routes. It's really fun! I hope you will be able to ride it next year. It isn't a race, so you just go at your own pace.
All righty; time to get back to work to help pay for more bike stuff!
