We like to bike 30-40 miles per day and are interested in the best section to ride and best B&B's in that area for mid September (is that a good time to do?). Thanks!

For a two day ride in the fall Booneville to Jefferson City has to be the best.

Boonvile (Rocheport) to Jefferson City is a pretty ride and gets great reviews here over and over. To tie in the B&B and to keep you away from the Jeff City bridge, I would consider parking in Hartsburg and riding west to Boonville with lodging at a B&B there. I can't recommend one, but I among others would recommend a stay at the Hotel Frederick in Boonville. It sits at the southern foot of the Missouri river bridge and is a very well done 100 year old hotel renovation. They are very bike friendly, have a quality cafe onsite, with a casino within walking distance and other places to eat (Napoli) and shop along Main street to the south.

I personally think the first two weeks in October is the best time to ride the KATY. The leaves are starting to change and the weather is cooler.

I agree with the rest. Booneville to Jefferson.
