Trek Biker from St. Joseph, MO on 8/26/2007 11:13:30 AM:
Use the "Plan a Ride" feature above to find shuttle options and call them for price, availability, etc. While in Rocheport, plan time to visit Les Bourgeous up on the hill. The bistro has great food and wine. The view is pretty cool too. Looking west from the A-frame you can see Boonville in the distance...pretty neat to see how far you've come....or how far you need to go.
Hermann Hill Vineyard and Inn in Hermann is a great place to stay. They have a nice B & B on the west side of town as well "cottages" on the northeast side of town that overlook the Missouri River. Stonehill has a nice resturaunt that was once an old stable, a good tour and tasting, and some pretty good wine also. (Although not easy to get to by bike, Adam Puchta south of town has a couple of very good wines that are available at Loutres Market between McKittrick and Herman. Their Vignoles and Adams Choice are worth looking for...if you like German style whites.
Some of the information on this site about the Hermann bridge is outdated. The new bridge is open and the old bridge is being removed and is no longer in service.
Enjoy your trip.
