June 2000 Welcome Bike-Aid to Kansas City
From Minneapolis to Kansas City By Ed Chasteen
Eighteen days before he came to Lawson, Rick Carlson had pedaled out of Minneapolis, bound for Kansas City and a first-time visit with his daughter since her nursing job had brought her here. That chronic nagging hunger that rides with long-distance bikers flashed a mental neon in his mind: FOOD! FOOD! FOOD, as he came to Lawson and pedaled up Pennsylvania to Catrick’s Café. He parked his recumbent on the sidewalk and stepped inside.
A piece of pie later, I spot him coming toward me on Salem Road. I had left Excelsior Springs about 20 minutes before, headed for lunch at Catrick’s. Rick and I stop to swap stories just as we come to the intersection of MM with Salem Road. Rick has pieced together several bike maps to get him here. He will leave Salem Road and take MM to get to Holt, where his daughter will come to pick him up.
“Not many places have pie anymore,” Rick says. “But all these hills! And the wind! Pie is always good.”
