I like stopping at the The Augusta Brewery for food and a beer or two. Augusta is a great place if you like wine.

If you want to do some hills, there's Schluersburg Road just outside of Augusta. It was used in the King of the Mountains points competition for the Tour of Missouri one year.

I have a cue sheet for a hilly road ride that starts out of Defiance on the KATY. If interested email me at oclv5200@hotmail.com .
