We spent Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night in Kansas City, resting and eating as much good steak and barbecue as we could! Hey, it's important to fuel properly for endurance activity, right ... ?
We slept in, cleaned the bikes, did some maintenance, re-taped my handlebars (my tape job got trashed in my little gravel incident), and chilled out.
Kansas City has a lot of interesting industrial and rail history and architecture, so after our Tuesday night dinner at Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue (an assortment of beef ribs, pork ribs, lamb ribs, beef brisket, and "burnt ends", yum!), we strolled through Union Station and pondered Kansas City's role as a rail transportation and agricultural hub. There are lots of neat old brick warehouses, many of which have been transformed into loft condominiums. The area near the restaurant and Union Station also has some funky art galleries, so we had fun peering into their windows.
Then it was off to an early sleep, to get ready for Wednesday's ride: Holt, Missouri to Marshall, Missouri.
