I did a little riding around central MO and Sedalia this past weekend because I wanted to explore possible routes for the ride I will be leading.

Here are a few pictures. Not all will be on the ride I will be leading. Some are along Adventure Detours:

Did you know that you do not have to participate in the Gypsy Tour in order to compete for overall points? If you want to compete for points by riding the Adventure Detours, Stop In's and BS way points in addition to the track competition, you still need to register. I know it's confusing so if you are unsure where to go, send me a message. Or click here: http://www.advsummits.com/
 
you didn't tell them about Bloody Bill Anderson's Grave, did you? :uhoh

Notice people are still taking chips from his "new" headstone.

He is buried in a field but in 1908 Cole Younger had his body moved to a historic Mormon Graveyard although he was not planted near Saints.

In the same town as Bloody Bill but in a different cemetery you will find the "dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard":

Pie

OK, all of you Giants, what is your favorite kind of pie?

You will know why I am asking when you get to Oark.:eat
 
Re: your favorite pie, you'll be making a big mistake if you don't get yours ala mode! OGS rocks!
 
Back to bridges, I am gaining weight just reading about pie.

Swinging bridges will get you GS BS points during the event...

Eddie's done waypoints, Troy shot some pics:
