Reply to Meriwether Cafe and Bike Shop in Rocheport

Met a fellow Katy Trail Adventurer from Springfield, Illinois at the Boonville TH on Day 2 enroute to Katy Roundhouse. He recommended Meriwether for a trailside dining spot. Needed to restock, so I decided that would be my breakfast stop on Day 3. Morning of Day 3 after a pleasant night's sleep and the bike wash escapade, I rode 10ish miles to Meriwethers for breakfast. It is literally trailside to the north. Sat on the patio and enjoyed a cup of coffee and a delicious egg sandwich on whole grain with fresh fruit. The sandwich was a generous size so I packed the other half in my Dakine as a back up in case I couldn't find food on my way to Hartsburg which I knew does not have many options. As I headed out after breakfast for the ~33 mile trek, I stopped at the Rocheport TH and talked with riders/SAG team that mentioned a winery down the trail where I could get food for the trail. It was closer than I expected but decided not to pass up the opportunity to replenish nutrition. Blufftop A-Frame Tasting Room was ~1 mile on the north side of the trail. There is a bike rack at the base of a trail that you hike up.3 miles to the top which was a lovely hike in the forest. Once at the top, go through the parking lot to get to the A-Frame Tasting Room. I am glad I didn't pass it up because the view of the Missouri River was amazing from their expansive decking. I wasn't hungry since I just ate breakfast, so I had a glass of wine and bought a to-go veggie wrap that I ate later in Hartsburg at my campsite. Day 3 was a success!
