Jason with the bad ideas from NW Arkansas on 8/18/2024 10:42:39 AM:
My wife and I were looking at the weather next week and it looks like it should be great for a bike ride. We've been wanting to go ride the Katy Trail, so we thought we might as well go for it. Problem is, this means we're kind of rushing on the planning stage of the trip.
We're pretty much just going to wing it. We'll carry all our camping gear and a fair amount of food, but we'll probably try to find hotels/B&B/Etc on the way. I think we'll probably go at a somewhat slower pace, just ride 40ish miles/day. Current thoughts are Clinton-Sedalia-Booneville/New Franklin-Jeff City?-Hermann-Defiance-Machens
I'm currently studying the planning map as much as I can, but I wanted to ask if anyone has any current info for the trail that may not be on the planning map? Any specific areas to avoid? Safety concerns? Etc?
