Bhallbike from Denver on 9/27/2009 5:50:20 PM:
We took the Amtrak from Hermann to Sedalia and rode back to our car in 3 days. Amtrak was fabulous and extremely easy! Horrible rain storm 2 miles outside of Pilot Grove. Great pours of whiskey and great service at Deon's in Pilot Grove. Rode to Jefferson. We are seasoned road/trail riders. DON'T RIDE the BRIDGE! If you stay in Jefferson, best pizza ever at Arris Pizzaria next to the Capital. McKittrick/Hermann bridge is easy to cross. Great food at Trappers! About the ride in general - Always take enough water and snacks. Some places aren't open. Trail great (we saw many people caring for the trail) from Sedalia to Jefferson City. Not very well maintained from Jefferson City to Hermann - loose gravel, ruts, tractor tire ruts, etc. Email - bhallbike@aol.com
