Got some good photos, I think, but as always my photos always look better before I put them online. The whole gallery is on the Daily Guide website here, there's a partial game story here.

A feature

A new update, since I haven't for a while. I wrote a feature the other day. The photo kind of sucked, but I liked the story. This is it.

Cyclists invade Elbow biker bar

By Jack Hittinger

DEVILS ELBOW— On Wednesday night the Elbow Inn in Devil’s Elbow was a real biker bar. It was invaded by cyclists.

The Hostel International-Gateway Council, based in St. Louis, is sponsoring a “Cycle Route 66” bicycle ride, taking cyclists on Route 66 from Miami, Okla., to Eureka. And the Devil’s Elbow restaurant was one of their main stops.

“I’ve been involved with the Route 66 Association for four years,” Elbow Inn owner Terry Roberson said. “I’ve supported every event thats been down here including motorcycle rides and classic car runs.”

But this is the first bike tour that he’s seen in conjunction with Route 66. And on Wednesday night, the bar was hopping with cyclists eating bar-b-que, drinking beer and playing trivia games.

“This is a real biker bar now,” Roberson said, “‘cause we’ve got both bikers here.”
