Katy Trail Day 6 — Herman to Augusta

And the day began. We had another fabulous breakfast — baked oatmeal with fruit, and then an omelet with pineapple brats made by the local German butcher shop.

We then rescued our trikes from their storage spot and got them loaded. I was amazed that somehow my dead battery actually accepted a charge, and I ran it today for the first 22.5 miles. I ran at a slightly higher power level to help with my knee, but all seemed to go well thankfully.




 


On the recommendation of some other trail riders, we stopped for lunch at the Dutzow Diner. Hamburgs were great. Boy were we hungry. And then it was on to Augusta.



Once we arrived in Augusta our tour sheet said we had a 1/2 mile hill climb to the Swan B&B. The first pitch was a doozy. Even with e-assist, Paula got stuck and had to turn sideways to the slope to restart. And then there were two more. Thank goodness Paula & I had our e-assist. Poor Sally wasn’t so lucky. I think we have an e-assist convert. She was a trooper though.
