We are planning a May 2nd trip from Hermann to St. Charles. We are newbies at this but feel that this is the best time of year and a realistic distance. We thought the prevailing winds would be west to east and May would be a good choice regarding the temperature. If we stay in Herman and bike to Washington in one day then on to St. Charles on the second day we should not be too tired to "smell the roses". Any comments on our plan?
Thanks, Michael

Michael...that sounds like a good plan. Hermann is a nice start or ending point. It we were to do that trip, I'd make sure to arrange to be shuttled across the bridge in Washington. Although I don't generally scare easily and have riden the old Hermann bridge and the bridge in Jefferson City...I've driven the bridge in Washington and would not attempt it on the bike. I'm guessing that most that post here would agree that the Washington bridge is not to ridden by the average trail rider.
