Morning.... rode from Augusta to hermann yesterday and was planning to continue today heading west.
Due to weather, not sure what to do next. Was hoping to make it to Jefferson City some time tonight and spend the night there.
It looks like it will clear out around 1pm...
Any suggestions and advice welcomed on what to do...
Anyone know how bad the trail gets after a heavy storm like last night?

If you’re on the trail by 1:00, you’ll have around 7 hours of daylight to do the 50 miles or so into Jefferson City. If you’re comfortable riding 8 mph that won’t be a problem. Another option would be to stay at the Turner Shelter in Tebbetts. That would knock 12 miles off the mileage. There was a youth group staying there when I was down there yesterday but they should be gone by this evening. Just be warned there are no dining options in Tebbetts. The trail may have some soft spots but it should be in decent shape.
