Birk's was fantastic. I rode the trail from Weldon Spring to Hermann and stayed at Birk's this Sunday. The owner Rick picked us up at McKittrick on the trail. I ended up with a flat tire at the end of my trip and the trail was really wet from rain. Rick hosed off our bikes, fixed my flat tire and replaced it with one of his own innertubes and tires at no charge. He also washed our wet clothes and shoes and provided us with refreshments and brownies in the afternoon. He then drove us to Stone Hill Winery for a great dinner. The breakfast was also great. Rick also drove us back over to the trail for our return ride. This hospitality made the trip very enjoyable and saved me from having to find a bike shop in Hermann. The house was also fantastic and the rooms very clean. Overall a great experience.
