We have a ride planned from Sedalia to St Charles in late September. We have train tickets and lodging reservations. Anybody have a guess on whether we will be able to detour around damaged areas by then?

Sorry, I should have checked September ride.

Hi Lisa
We plan a six day ride on exactly the same route as you, in late September this year.
We are just waiting to see what the conditions will be. I have a plan B (rearranging accommodation etc) but haven't actioned it yet - getting close to doing so. It involves riding west from Boonville and then out on the Rock Island Trail and back.
We don't mind short detours on back roads but after some steep hills and main highways on the Erie Canal Trail last year, we aren't into long ones.
Ray, the webmaster, has posted latest conditions.

Good luck; I'll be interested to learn what you decide to do

Michael

The Katy trail from Boonville going west was not damaged by the flooding from the missouri river. Been told and seen a lot of the bikers going west. But it was water damage going east on the trail at the time 100 miles was under water.
