Line Creek Trail -- Riverside, MO

For an R and R weekend in KC, we rode a couple of trails in the area.

On Saturday we rode the Line Creek Trail in Riverside, Mo. (North Kansas City). 


 We started our ride where the trail meets the Argosy Casino. We followed along the trail okay until we came to the intersection that has this neat clock tower.


There was really no signage indicating where to go from there.  But by remembering what we had read online about "going past the Sonic" and having that confirmed by a couple of cyclists who happened to pass by and kindly answered our question, we were back on the trail. 


It was a very nice tree-shaded trail that wound along beside Line Creek.


The creek had a couple of pretty waterfalls.

The trail sported more than a few hills to conquer......

...... a bizarre stairway to nowhere........


..... a crumbling little shack .......

and a shout out to Bon Jovi.

All told, we had a great 17 mile ride, the first one of many as we head back into bicycling season.

For supper we ate at Hog Jaw Friz BBQ. It was delish!

He had a half slab of ribs, BBQ beans and cheesy corn. 


She had a burnt ends sandwich and pickles, lots of pickles. Yum!

It was a great little family-owned business with cute decor. 


We especially loved the clocks above the doorway.  See what they did there?  :)

A couple hours after letting dinner settle, we had a late dessert at Yogurtini in the upscale Zona Rosa district.

He had peanut butter with Snickers, Reeses and I'm sure something else. 

She had salted caramel corn topped with caramel cups, Heath bars, pecans and caramel syrup. 
It was quite devine.
