THE FIRST DAY RODE THE TRAIL EAST FROM FEFFERSON CITY. STOPPED AT A FUN PUB IN TEBBETTS NAMED JIM'S BAR (Jim is the owner and bartender). A large group were there playing spoons, wash boards, tub drums and bases. They came by horseback. The nex day rode West from North Jefferson Trail Head. This direction is more attractive as it has views of the Missouri River. This is the longest uninterupted trail in the US. Small towns dot the trail for easy access to food and hydration. Saw a copper head today it did not bother me and I did not slow down to take a closer look. If one could alot the time and planning necessary the entire trail would be worth the trip. The trail is well marked, safe, in good condition, has abundent shade, and easy to find.

The ride was beautiful. The staff took excellent care of the riders. The trail is great, but I would not recommend a road bike. I hope to do the ride again with more of my riding friends. Geanine Lehmann, Madison, AL

The 2009 ride organized ride was just completed. It was hot but a great ride and the State Parks people and volunteers are great. Hermann and Augusta are great towns to spend a couple days at.
