Pedaler’s Jamboree
Bicyclists depart from Columbia, MO, on the morning of Saturday, May 29, from Flat Branch Park (101 S 4th St, Columbia, MO 65201). Departure times are between 7:30 am and 10 am. Drop off your overnight packs at check in and prepare for a weekend of relaxed bike riding, music, and fun. Enjoy the scenic views of the Katy Trail State Park as you ride on crushed limestone trails flanked by cliffs and the Missouri River. Stop at your convenience at a handful of locations to enjoy live music and entertainment. Bands will play throughout the day in communities across the trail.
The final destination, Boonville’s Kemper Park, will host the feature events with main stage music. Overnight camping will be available and free for all registered riders! Hotel/motel accommodations are available at local establishments. There will be food available at restaurants throughout Boonville as well as food vendors at the park. On Sunday, ride your bike back to Columbia with music again throughout the day! Your bags will be waiting for you upon your arrival back to Flat Branch Park!

Sag Rides on the route:
Registered riders can catch a sag ride to Boonville along the route on Saturday or back to Columbia on Sunday. Look for the white shuttle van parked near the action at the pick up zones. There will also be a sag bike on the course this year which will be able to transport 1 person and 1 bicycle. We will get you there! Just keep in mind that it will take us a while! If you are just riding slow and tired, keep pedaling! You might get there a lot faster than if you wait for the sag to fill up before doing a drop!
