Saw an article yesterday that stated that the katy Trail may be closed at St. Charles because the city/county does not want the trail there. Does anyone know anything about that ?

I know this gets asked and answered periodically but does any one know when the trail will be finished from saint charles north to machens. I know the weather has been hard on construction but what is the latest schedule. Also can you and is it interesting to start near a trail head like black walnut and come back as far as you can to saint charles? is it an interesting piece of trail?

Whole trail (End-To-End) in 24 hours?

Some friends and I just rode from Clinton to StCharles this weekend, and started discussing the possibility of doing the entire trail in one 24 hour period (next year).
We are thinking that by riding on a clear night with a full or nearly full moon, and having some good lights, we should be able to keep moving all night long (albeit a little more slowly than in the daytime), and complete the whole ride in one 24 hour period.
Does anyone on this board have experience with riding on the KATY at night?

Hey, y'all! Remember that Trailside, both the Cafe *and* the Bike Shop, are closed on WED! I noted that a number of folks were "surprised" by this fact on WED (I sat at one of their tables waiting for my ride). Just a heads up.....

Took a nice ride up the trail near Green Ridge and ended the day at Burf's Bar & Grill. Friendly crowd and Michelob on tab! Our waitress, Sheila, never let our frosty mugs go warm or empty. Best tenderloin I've ever had. Excellent Reuben sandwich. Burf's will be a frequent stop for my friends and me.

Sad to see the Treloar B&G has closed. (7/11/2010) They had awesome cheeseburgers, fries and cold beer. When I was in there earlier this year the owner, Bill, said the place hadn't been doing very well since the 2008 recession hit.

We tried to eat here at the end of June and upon arrival they are closed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Not sure if this is a temporary thing so I would reccomend calling, especially since there is not another eating establishment within ten miles. There is however a man at the bed and breakfast in Bluffton who has frozen pizza's for $10, and Steamboat Junction's snack stand was a blessing on this day.

A group of my friends and I were considering trying to ride from Clinton to St Charles in 24 hours. Has anyone ever done this or know someone who has? I have ridden all of the trail between Booneville and Jefferson City, but not much besides that. I routinely ride 50-60 miles at a time, how reasonable is it to do it all in one day. Everyone in my group is either a competitive cyclist or distance runner and is 19 or 20. We have all have road bikes that we could put cyclocross tires on or have preformance hybrids. Any comments or suggestions.

Hostel or homeless shelter

We biked 50 miles westbound from Peer on Saturday with a planned stay at the hostel in Tebbets. At the hostel we found a drugged up homeless couple staying there and a filthy bathroom. I feel sorry for these folks and I thank God for my health and resources, but I didn't expect to find a homeless shelter instead of a semi-clean hostel. Thank goodness we had the energy and daylight to ride the 12 extra miles to Jeff City.

My husband and I are considering riding Amtrak from Sedalia to Kirkwood. We will have 2 bikes and our camping gear. We are concerned that we will not have enough time to get everything on board in the 3 minutes we were told (by Amtrak) we would have at the station. If you have had experience getting on the train at Sedalia, please let me know how it went. Did the bikes go on the same car as you? How easy was it to get them on/off? Thanks for any info that would relieve our anxieties. The Amtrak agent I spoke to was grumpy and not very helpful.

A few years ago in Midwest Living magazine, I believe, the cover story was about the Katy Trail with beautiful photographs of riders on a trail on a bluff overlooking the river. Does anyone know which section or sections of the trail have this type of river views?

Had a lovely ride to Hermann this weekend. Hot and went dry between Treloar and McKittrick. Treloar grill still closed when we stopped and not very much of the right change for the vending machine. Does anyone know of a place to get water (or change) in Treloar, or a place to get water between Treloar and McKittrick? We will know to fill up (and get change) in Peers next time. Would still be nice to know.

07-17-2010: long wait for food. Chicken and dumplings, crab cakes, bread all way too salty and chicken was way too done. Poor quality food! Bloody Mary was good as was the wine. Desserts were pretty and tasty. Skip the main course/appetizers and go for the wine and dessert.
