I have ride the trail with my toddler that will only handle about 15-20 miles of bike riding
at a time. What segments of the trail are your favorites? So far our favorite has been
McBaine to Rocheport, but I want to get out and see more country as I'm new to Missouri. I
would appreciate some recommendations.

mlb, my personla favorite is rocheport then east. HOWEVER, we are from festus, mo so me and wifey ususally ride from st. charles then west as far as the road crossing west of green bottoms road. we have also rode from defiance to augusta and back. i have rode from boonville to north jefferson and sedialia to 8 miles east. other than rocheport then east, once i got out of town in sedialia, it was an enjoyable ride, and defiance to augusta was an enjoyable ride. i did not care for the rocheport to new franklin ride, but enjoyed the ride on to boonville, except for the bridge crossing over the missouri river (scared of heights) even though there was a good guard rail on the bridge. hope this helps on your rides. happy bikin.

The section of trail that goes along the Weldon Spring conservation area is very pretty and VERY SHADY. Another beautiful section is Portland to Bluffton--good river views.

McBain to Jeff is also great/lots of good places to stop.
We however do spend the night in Jeff when we do this, and ride back the next day. We like to take our time and "play" along the way.
