I'll be in Columbia for a half-marathon on 5/26 and want to do a day trip from there on 5/27 (40-60 miles RT max) to keep the legs loose. Any advice on east to Jefferson City or west to Boonville and back for an easy little day trip (with ease of finding restaurant near trail to eat)?

A ride from Columbia to Hartsburg would be about 50 miles RT. I always eating at the Big Muddy Tavern in Hartsburg

I'm with you Midsouth: Go west. Maybe to Rocheport. That should be no big deal for a marathoner.

Go west after you hit the KT ride up to Rocheport very nice along the river. You'll want take you camera.

And, the great thing is you can get ice cream no matter which way you go. Katfish Katy's in Huntsdale if you West or at Cooper's Landing in Easley if you East!

Midsouth, we need to ride together! I've made it a habit to check lots of places and make sure they still have ice cream. They always do, so I guess my checks are working. It's my duty to society.....

SalsaBoy, where are you located? I noticed you also ride the Frisco Trail. I will be riding the Katy from Sedalia to August and back starting May 14th.
SalsaBoy on 5/8/2012 9:33:14 PM:
Man oh man would I like to take you up on that....but then there is that work thing. Most of my Katy time this summer will be on the weekends because I'm doing RAGBRAI at the end of July. Hope you have a good time. Maybe we can meet up some time.

SalsaBoy, I'm going to Montana in July to ride a section of the Great Divide from Whitefish to Lincoln. I heard the hills there are a little steeper than the KATY!
