4 DAY TRIP

I am planning to bike with my best friend from Sedalia to St. Charles over four days in the middle or the end of May. We are two males in fairly good shape in our low 20s but do not have a whole lot of long distance biking experience. What would be the best way to plan out the trip in terms of miles per day and pace. Where are the best places to stay? We would leave Friday morning and need a place to stay on Fri, Sat, and Sun night. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The best way to plan out the trip in terms of miles per day would be to divide the total number of miles from Sedalia to St. Charles by 4. That will tell you the number of miles you need to travel on each of the 4 days. I know....another one of those darn "how many apples do I have left word problems" that we all never liked too well. To check your work.....take the number of miles you need to ride each day (see above) and multipy that by 4. Your answer should equal the number of miles between Sedalia and St. Charles...if so.....youre in luck!

For the last ten years, about 20 - 30 of us have ridden Clinton to St. Charles as a group. After years of trial and error, we go Clinton->Booneville (72 Miles) Booneville->Holt Summit (North Jefferson) (48 Miles) Holt Summit->Hermann (McKittrick) (42 Miles) Hermann->St. Charles (61 Miles). Due to the size of our group, lodging and meals somewhat limit our choices. With just two of you, you may be able to chose from more options.

As an alternative, I like to pick a spot on the trail and ride out 1/2 a day and ride back 1/2 day. That way, there is no pressure and I can relax and enjoy the ride.

How about Sedalia to Rocheport-to Hartsburg-to Bluffton- to Augusta-to St.Charles

If you need a place to stay I would recommend the Hotel Frederick in Boonville, Mo. It is across the street from the Trail where the trail crosses the Missouri River at the Boonslick Bridge. Great accomdations and a fabulous resturant. Free Bike Storage, Wi-Fi, Continental Breakfast and great rooms in this 103 year old hotel. Check the web-site at hotelfrederick.com
