I live in Sedalia, and today I checked out the new trail section that runs from Sedalia to the east. They did a nice job on the concrete section from the station in Sedalia, however from about a block north of the railroad tracks on Engineer Ave it turns into essentially a gravel road. I can't imagine the specs for the surface material allows for aggregate that large, it's a bicycle trail, not a country road. I rode about one block on each of two different parts of the new unpaved section, that's all I could take. I didn't enjoy it at all, I felt like I could crash at any moment -on a mountain bike- and I've been riding bikes for 58 years. It needs to be surfaced with a fine limestone chat that packs down hard and smooth, not large aggregate. Maybe that's the plan, if not, Total Fail.
