Hopefully heading to Rocheport this Sunday to ride to Boonville and experience a portion of the trail for the first time.
Any suggestions? Things to look for, look out for?
Hows the trail for that stretch when it comes to flooding?

You likely won't be able to bike on the Trail into Rocheport. The Trail tends to flood just west of the tunnel - the DNR site reports the Trail is closed from Mokane to MM180 - as I recall, the trailhead at Rocheport is MM179. It has been in the news this week that there were sandbagging at the Trail to keep the floodwaters from flooding Rocheport. You may do better biking the other direction from Boonville and heading to Pilat Grove - it is up and away from the river.

Yesterday, we attempted to ride from Boonville to Rocheport and back, Four miles from Boonville the trail is closed in East Franklin due to flooding. Doubt it will be open by tomorrow.
