The bridge after you come through Rocheport is being repaired have to ride the highway around it

Rode on the eastern end today, Treloar to St. Charles, several trees down, but DNR working on it. However, nothing that could not be walked through or around and no significant delays.

Just checked the river levels at Jeff City and Hermann guages, and they are projecting levels above flood stage that MAY impact the trail in the Portland, Hartsburg, and Rocheport areas Sun/Mon.

The Mo. state park website is reporting a closure due to storm damage. Check their website for more details.

Just read the advisory on the closure in Rhineland, MM 103 to MM 107. For me, I would ride around this area on HWY 94 as I am very familiar with this area but that is not for everyone.

I would be more concerned with the river levels as it looks like more rain on the way, but some B&B's will shuttle you locally and there are other shuttle services out there that will help you if you get in a bind.

I rode Sedalia to Hermann May 21-23. Trail from the east end to Tebbetts was in xlnt cond but that was before Monday's storm. Portland to McKittrick has lots of washouts, and looked like some flash flooding with lots of debris. I was on my fat tire so I could ride through all but one area. Be careful.

Thanks for all your comments. We decided to postpone our trip due to the flooding and advise from our fellow bikers. We had reservations at 5 B & B's. All cancelled our reservations without fees. See you on the trail when its a bit more dry!
