For years I've attended the 5 boro bike ride in NYC and have really enjoyed it. But since the organinzers(BikeNY) have changed all the rules to their ride, I instead plan on traveling to the great state of MO. and attending this years Peddlers Jamboree. This looks to be a fun event as my favorite band in the world, Southern Culture on the Skids is headlining the festival. Anyone else plan on attending ?

The wife and I will be there! We had a blast last year. Just today talked to the organizer/promoter at a Bike Show/Swap Meet in Collinsville, Il.

Just curious. What do you mean by "changed all the rules"?

Kelly, The NY 5 boro ride is now done by a lotto system instead of first come first serve. And they no longer mail you your vest, it must be picked up at an expo in Manhattan atleast a day before the ride. That can make it difficult for out of town riders who arrive late in the city. The 5 boro ride is now $75(if you get in) and another $6 non refundable just to enter the lotto. So I've decided to spend my money in MO this year.

Sorry I forgot to title this thread maybe Ray could tag it as "Peddlers Jamboree"

My husband and I will be riding the Katy Trail for the 1st time. We'll be driving in from Ohio. We're really excited to be part of the Peddlers Jamboree and camp out with you folks. After the Jamboree we plan to ride from Columbia to St. Charles with stops in Jefferson City, Rhineland and Augusta. Hope I made choices in places to stop. Any suggestions on dinner ideas in these cities?

I would suggest Paddy Malones or Arris' Pizza in Jefferson City and the Trailside Bar and Grill in Rhineland.

Other places to eat in Jeff City: Madison's on Madison St., Ecco Lounge on the corner or Dunklin and I think Jefferson, O'Donohue's on east side, Munichburg Tavern (my husband loves their varieties of craft beer on tap), Prison Brews, Saphire's at the top of Doubletree Hotel (expensive but very good).
