VIDEO Flashbacks
We wanted to share with you a wonderful memory from the 2025 year's Pedaler's Jamboree. A video of the “Down at the Pedaler’s Jamboree” performance at Kemper Park. This song is a heartfelt tribute to the Pedaler's Jamboree that was written by Jerry Denehy and composed by Seth Colaner. The video was captured and edited by Chelsea Myers and Aaron Phillips. Look for cameo appearances from your friends who rode the event this year. Thanks for everyone who was able to share this experience. If you weren't there, you can experience it here for the first time!
Relive this Ha Ha Tonka PedJam memory!
Our friends Ha Ha Tonka have performed four times at the Pedaler's Jamboree! They debuted back in 2011 when they opened for The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. The last time around they rode bicycles with their families and friends while documenting their Pedaler's experience in their music video for "Carry It Around."
You just might see some familiar faces and experiences! Thank you for sharing this summer kick-off memory with us

Pedaler's Jamboree Recap 2026
Thank you for joining us on the Pedaler's Jamboree!
Another Pedaler's Jamboree has come and gone! Thank all of you for such an amazing weekend full of friends, bicycling, live music and all the fixing! We feel insanely blessed to have such an amazing group of friends that come and share the holiday weekend with us every year! The Pedaler's Jamboree is a labor of love that feels so worth while every single time!
What happened… Down at the Pedaler's Jamboree?
A true bicycle adventure! Fine folks came from near and far to celebrate good times on the trail over the Memorial Day weekend. New faces mixed with familiar ones on a nonstop bicycle party stretching 30 miles from Columbia to Boonville.
Raise your hand if you had a ridiculously fun time at an impromptu trailside stop?! Perhaps you instigated shenanigans or perhaps they found you! We had the greatest of times sharing all the moments of the weekend with all of you.
Let's talk about the rain! Yes, that was quite the jamboree experience this year! A full afternoon and evening of nonstop showers raised the level of epic for the ride. Way to persevere and do hard things! Stories are better and memories are stronger when we challenge ourselves. I remember hanging out under a bridge to the store in between Rocheport and Franklin. The squirrel fighters had a spontaneous acoustic concert as we all shared a moment the rain. A friend reassured me about the rainy day conditions with the following advice. He told me that his momma always told him that WEATHER BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. These were two of us could not have been truer than on this year's ride.
Other memories from the weekend included. William Elliot Whitmore singing about midwest storms and floods to a delighted and wet crowd hanging out in the rain at the Katy Roundhouse. A super fun Friday night hoedown! Instigating a bubble gun flash mob during Post Sex Nachos and getting to share a moment with as many amazing people as possible. We would love to hear your stories from the event as well! See below on how you can help document your experiences on the ride.
Thank you for your support of the jamboree! Our hearts are full! We are planning on returning next Memorial Day Weekend for another round of the Pedaler's Jamboree. Mark your calendars now! Can't wait to do this again!

Wow! We feel insanely blessed to have such an amazing group of friends that come and share the holiday weekend with us every year!

Below is a quick recap from the millions of great moments...
The Pedaler's Jamboree kicked off with a Friday night party in Rocheport with an underground dance party, buskers and performers throughout the wooden trail and a great show by The Spooklights in the old tobacco barn! Saturday morning over 2,000 bicycle riders were once again welcomed to the best ever riding weather. The bands along the route added a perfect soundtrack to a great day of positive vibes and pedaling! Kemper Park had a perfect PedJam vibe with the music of Tanner Lee, Aaron Kamm and Ha Ha Tonka (we loved all the all-stars who shared the stage). Ha Ha Tonka even rode the Jamboree with their families while filming a music video! The chill vibe at Kemper Park took a turn with the late night storm which found many riders taking shelter at the YMCA til early morning hours. On Sunday, the remaining riders experienced another great day of weather and great music all the way back to Columbia.
