Some friends and I are planning a ride from Columbia to St. Charles. We are all mid-40s, ride our bikes to work, and are in reasonably good shape. My question is, should we do this in 2 days or 3 days? Also, any info you can provide concerning B&Bs and resturants will be appreciated.

Two days is not a push if you're used to doing distances. If you are actually riding from Columbia (riding the spur down to the trail) you would hit McKittrik at around 70 miles leaving you a little under 60 miles for the second day. You could do a trial run from Columbia to Hartsburg and back......I think that's around 70 miles.......and then decide if you want to add a day to your St. Charles ride.
