I'm planning to ride St. Charles to Sedalia 3nd week in October and am booking my hotels all in advance. Everything in Hermann is booked solid on weekends. You might find something mid-week in Rhineland, Herman & Augusta...., but I'd sure reserve in advance. Very busy because of Octoberfest, Wine Tours, Changing leaves, etc. Have also found that rates are really increased a lot for weekends...sometimes double the mid-week rate. I wouldn't want to bike all day, and then have to waste a lot of time trying to find a place to sleep.
