Mondays & Tuesdays

Hi, was doing to research for a 2020 end-to-end west-to-east self-supported ride. I am a first-timer and see over and over again that Mondays and Tuesdays can be a little difficult because shops/restaurants/facilities in some towns are closed those days. Are there specific cities/routes that should be avoided on those days? What are the best days to start a ride from Clinton? Thanks in advance

If you plan on spending a Monday night in Sedalia and a Tuesday night in Boonville, you should have no trouble finding shops/restaurants/facilities in those two towns. You shouldn't have problems in Hermann or Jefferson City either.

Otherwise you might want to consider starting on a Wednesday. That would give you 5 riding days to get to St. Charles.

There's a Towns & Services link at the top of the page. It can give you a good idea of which towns have the most services.
