Cool wildlife sightings, NWG! I have never seen a bear in the flesh before. I would have pedaled fast too!

Today we rode from the state park campground where we're staying into the charming little town of Weston, MO. We then did some riding on a rolling county road before heading back into town for a tasting at the local distillery. They give two tastes (max per day) for a quarter each! Of course, it's good business as they know most people will buy something, and we did, of course. Nothing like a shot of liquor before heading three miles in strong headwinds and high heat up big hills requiring tacking -- oy!

16 miles at a very slow pace but a lovely, hilly ride.
