Had beautiful weather the first weekend in November and enjoyed a relaxing ride from New Franklin to Hartsburg and then back to Rocheport. Stayed at the Katy Trail B&B in Rocheport and enjoyed the hot tub and the easy access to the trail. The Globe in Hartsburg offered a more communal setting with riders and walkers gathering in the parlor after dinner. Jeanette is great and cooks a great breakfast (especially the zucchini muffins). If you stay there, make sure she shows you photos from the flood...amazing. The Bike Depot is a great resource and we enjoyed test riding some of their recumbants. All in all a great trip. We were excited to see the changes along the trail in the last two years with the addition of the conservation areas. Hopefully the Katy Trail will inspire more regions to adopt these types of trails.
