I am going to stay at the Rendleman Home Friday and Saturday night (Oct 17&18).

We will have a series of get togethers that people can chose to come to, please let me know which ones you might attend when we get closer for a head count.

So far the event looks something like this:

Friday Oct 17, BBQ at Turner Shelter 7:00 pm(donations please)

Saturday Oct 18, riding from Bluffton to Mokane for lunch at the Mokane Bar & Grill @ 1:00 pm. Ride back to Bluffton for possible BBQ in Bluffton @ 7:00 pm.

Sunday Oct 19, ride to Hermann for lunch at Concert Hall & Barrel 1:00pm. Ride back to Bluffton and head for home.

I will be seeking donations for the Wounded Warrior Project at each phase of the get together.

ArkyKenny on 8/23/2014 11:41:33 AM:

I plan to be there Sat and Sat night.

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 8/23/2014 11:47:21 AM:

Anyone planning to stay at the Rendleman Home B&B that weekend should get your reservations in pretty soon...

sharonbikes from Kansas City on 8/24/2014 8:33:44 PM:

We will probably be looking to camp - will he still let folks pitch a tent out in the yard? We will be there Saturday night.

Sharon

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 8/24/2014 11:13:51 PM:

Yes, you can camp at Doug's. Just go to his site and reserve a campsite.

Anonoh on 8/26/2014 9:02:32 AM:

Good timing since it looks like bridge work is to start Oct 22 in the ride area.

sharonbikes from Kansas City on 8/27/2014 7:57:05 PM:

We are camping at Rendlman's Saturday night - hope we have gorgeous weather! How many are coming? Do we know yet?

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 8/27/2014 8:53:04 PM:

There have been a few show interest so far! Really need to get your paid reservations in at the Rendleman Home even if camping. Oktoberfest is just down the trail in Hermann during this time frame and rooms and campsites wont last long.

sharonbikes from Kansas City on 8/28/2014 8:19:07 PM:

We have our reservation in to camp at Rendleman's! Looking forward to meeting folks.

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 8/28/2014 8:25:50 PM:

Looking forward to it also...we should be able to solve all the worlds problems while we are there!

Paul Toigo from Kansas City on 8/29/2014 7:54:30 PM:

We'll be 11 miles downstream enjoying Oktoberfest in McKittrick/Hermann. We'll pass by Blufton sometime on Sunday on our way to Jefferson City. Be sure to waive as we pass each other.

Anonoh on 9/1/2014 10:10:07 AM:

Paul, could you possible stop and sign some autographs for being one of just a few who have ridden the KT in a single day?

Paul Toigo from Kansas City on 9/1/2014 10:18:08 AM:

lol. Absolutely. Happily, I won't be riding for time (other than to catch the train) and will be enjoying the KATY as it should. That includes chatting with other riders.

ArkyKenny on 10/11/2014 8:47:14 AM:

Are we still on for this? I plan to be in Bluffton Sat morning. Early reports on the weather are good.

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/11/2014 10:36:44 AM:

Yes we are on! I won't be able to do much actual riding, going in for a stress test. But, still plan to do all the get togethers. I will be stopping at Tebbets Friday evening for awhile and then heading for the Rendleman Home in Bluffton.

Jason from Tonganoxie on 10/11/2014 6:48:02 PM:

Good times at Doug's...what a great dude!

MimiandPapa from Springfield, Mo. on 10/11/2014 7:31:11 PM:

Sorry we weren't able to be there, but it was grandparents day at our granddaughters school. Mid South hope everything goes well on stress test. Will still keep lookout for you on FHT!

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/11/2014 8:23:37 PM:

We haven't done it yet...it is this upcoming weekend. Was on the Frisco today for the 20 year anniversary celebration

MimiandPapa from Springfield, Mo. on 10/11/2014 8:43:20 PM:

Duh! Should have read more intently!:)

Sharonbikes from Kansas City on 10/11/2014 10:43:04 PM:

We are planning to be there. It is looking likely we will be able to come Friday night, but won't know for sure til mid-week. Hoping for great weather!

Sharon

Ray (webmaster) on 10/11/2014 11:02:09 PM:

Hope you all have fun - I'm sure it will be a great time. Sorry I can't make it; I have numerous family commitments that weekend (story of my life). Have fun!
Happy trails...

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/12/2014 9:40:22 AM:

Great! Will most likely meet at the bar next to the shelter on Friday night.

Who all is staying at the Reneleman Home on Friday or Saturday. Still trying to decide on a BBQ or not.

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/12/2014 2:25:45 PM:

This is what the weekend looks like at this time.

1. Friday evening - we will meet & greet at the P4 Pub & Grub next to the Turner Shelter.

2. Saturday 1pm - we will meet & greet at the Mokane Bar & Grill.

3. Saturday evening - we will have a BBQ and bonfire at the Rendleman Home in Bluffton.

4. Sunday 1pm - we will meet & greet at the Concert Hall & Barrel in Hermann.

We will be seeking donations for the Wounded Warrior Project at each phase of the get together.

Please try and let me know if you are going to make any of the get togethers, especially would like a head count for the BBQ in Bluffton. Thanks Bill Ackermann

sharonbikes from Kansas City on 10/12/2014 7:17:07 PM:

We are planning on being at Rendleman's Saturday night - the rest of the weekend is up in the air until I find out about my Saturday morning commitment which probably won't be until Wednesday. Do we need to bring food to share for Saturday night?

Sharon

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/12/2014 7:27:37 PM:

You don't need to bring food, but would appreciate a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. Weather is looking great at the moment!

Anonoh on 10/13/2014 7:36:11 AM:

Cant make it. Going to Cards-Giants NLCS game Oct 18 (if they are still in it) and then Oct 19 picking up a new puppy for the wife in Springfield, MO. Have a great time and "ride on".

Scott from Southwest Missouri on 10/13/2014 6:15:20 PM:

I just stayed at the Rendleman house he is an excellent cook and a great guy cabin right now I'm to go to sleep if anyone can make it out there well worth it hope y'all can make it to their benefit.

Jim from St Thomas on 10/16/2014 9:06:00 AM:

What time are you planning to be at the Pub & Grub? I had thought about grilling some hot dogs and hamburgers at the Turner Shelter but I've been told the Starkenburg pilgrimage folks will have the shelter filled so I think grilling is out.

Sharonbikes from Kansas City on 10/16/2014 1:19:41 PM:

We will be there Friday night. Thanks for the heads up about the folks at the shelter.

Sharon

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/16/2014 1:51:51 PM:

Thanks Jim, it looks like there will only be a few of us Friday so no need to grill. I will probably get to the Pub & Grub about 7pm. I have never caught it open when staying at the shelter in the past.

Mimi and Papa from Springfield, Mo. on 10/16/2014 2:21:29 PM:

Mid-South, We aren't going to be able to make it, but would like to make a donation to wounded warrior project. Let us know how we can get that to you. Have a very blessed day!

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/16/2014 2:37:12 PM:

Mimi & Papa, sent you an email. Anyone else that can not make the get together, but would like to make a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project, please email me: (ackermannsacre at earthlink dot net) Thanks,

Gary from Near Tebbetts on 10/17/2014 4:19:33 PM:

You can also go straight to the Wounded Warriors Project web site if you want to make a donation.

Billy from Mokane on 10/18/2014 3:14:01 PM:

Happy trails to all who joined MidSouth on the get together. He has worked really hard putting this together...

sharonbikes from Kansas City on 10/19/2014 8:08:07 PM:

Mid-South's Annual KT Ride I was a huge success for us! We had a great time and it was so nice to be able to put faces with names and get together in person. Doug Rendleman was a great host. Thanks Mid-South for organizing it! (What do you think of the name I have coined for the first of what I hope will be many more annual rides!)

Sharon

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/20/2014 4:00:27 PM:

It was great to meet some of the forum posters last weekend! There was a few of us at the P4 Pub & Grub in Tebbetts for dinner on Friday and a few more at the Rendleman Home and B&B Saturday. Some made the day ride to Mokane for lunch on Saturday then we sat around Doug's and had a cookout, some live music, a bonfire, and nice conversation. Some did another day ride on Sunday and Cathy and I went into Hermann to check out Octoberfest, not too bad when we got there but started getting pretty busy by 1pm.
We may look at a different weekend for next year, one without the pilgrims and Octoberfest, and maybe a little warmer for the campers.

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/21/2014 9:41:14 AM:

Not only did we have a good time last weekend, we ended it with a donation of $243 to the Wounded Warrior Project in the name of "The Katy Regulars"!

sharonbikes from Kansas City on 10/21/2014 5:21:57 PM:

Wow!!! That is fabulous! Thanks, MidSouth!

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/22/2014 2:21:03 PM:

More donations for Wounded Warrior Project in the mail today, we are now up to $283!

Darrell from Jeff City, Mo. on 10/23/2014 4:08:08 AM:

Excellent! Good job MidSouth!

MimiandPapa from Springfield, Mo. on 10/23/2014 8:28:31 AM:

Great job MidSouth! We will definitely put that on calendar for next year! I do like name of MidSouth' s Annual Katy Trail Ride! Have a very blessed day!

MidSouth from Rogersville, MO on 10/26/2014 8:28:30 AM:

Donations to the Wounded Warrior Project from the get together are still coming in...we are now up to $333!

Mike on 10/26/2014 9:13:03 AM:
