Katy Trail Ride 2011

I am seeking to ride the Katy Trail this upcoming Spring (2011) in late March or April. I have
not been able to find organized rides for this time period, does anyone know of an organized
ride? I would prefer to ride from West to East. If your looking to do the same, drop me a line,
maybe we can organize a small group.

Respectfully,
Brian

I think the first organized trip starts May 22, http://www.touringcyclist.com/calendar/ev425.html. There are several the second half of June to pick from.

Keep in mind that all (I think) trailhead water/restrooms are closed through approximately April 1st.
Do a solo trip, you will meet people on the trail and sometimes will ride a ways with them. If you do the B&B/hotel you can go with minimal gear.

I rode it last year the last week in Mar. It was unseasonably warm in the 60-70s from west to east. You may have potential problems from the soft sections (Clinton to Booneville) from the thaw in the spring. Nothing is really open. I had my better half do the SAG duties and we stayed in hotels. Nice time.
