A 35-40 miles one-way trip would put you around Marthasville trail head (TH). If someone is going to pick you up at the other end, then you're in good shape. If you have to turn around and ride back to Crevecour afterward, then you might be pushing your limit. A 70-80 miles trip in one day can be a challenge for even a seasoned rider. There is no water until you hit Dutzow TH, but stores, cold drinks, and eatery are available from Defiance to Marthasville.
