Any suggestions on places to camp Friday night? I will be heading towards St Charles from Columbia. How about a good place to watch the race go by on Saturday?

Klondike Park is right on the Katy Trail and has new cabins [built last year] for rent. Follow this link:

FYI, Saturday the tour of Missouri bikers will be going through several streets in Augusta at around 3:00 p.m. Klondike Park is probably the best campground between St. Charles & Columbia, but if you stay there Friday night, you will have to do other stuff until the bikers catch up to you. The Steamboat Junction campground at Portland/Bluffton may be a more timely option, and it has received positive reviews in the past here, but I don't know what it's present status is.

When bunched up this group will whirl past in a matter of a few seconds. It could very well take you much longer to position yourself than any fleeting glimpse will last. If you really want to experience the feel of the race, speed on in to St. Charles to see them pass and then you'll be there for the post race action. The loops the tour will make in St. Louis from Union Station to Forrest Park and back will provide several opportunities to view also.
