In general, you probably will be able to find a room in some of the bigger towns (ie. Sedalia, Boonville, Hermann, etc.). I would guess that if you work the phones the evening before you start out to your next destination that you will find a place to stay. However, you have to keep in mind that some B&B’s and most hotels will want Credit Card deposits anyway, so if you don’t make it there it will still be your loss.
In addition, there are some shuttle services available if you get in a bind. I suppose you could also contact the various County police agencies http://www.bikekatytrail.com/emergency.asp), as they would probably let you spend a night in jail rather than sleeping on a park bench somewhere.
