From Hermann to Tebbetts and back is about 65 miles but it will feel like more than 100 especially with those tires and the rain we have been experiencing. If you have a cross bike or a mountain bike it would be a much better choice. If the road bike is your only choice Be prepared for flats and having to walk some areas.
Jerry Whittle from BELLEVILLE on 10/12/2018 07:25 PM
The bigger tires the better as you can run lower pressures. I've ridden short distances on the Katy with 700x25 tires and didn't like it. It was bumpy and sometimes felt very squishy. I've ridden the entire Katy Trail 9 times on bikes with 700x32 tires at around 70 psi and it was a much smoother, stable ride. Next year I'm putting 700x35 tires on my touring bike and probably running 60-65 psi. I weigh around 215 lbs so around 260 lbs total with the bike.
Andy Chasteen from Oklahoma City on 10/13/2018 11:20 AM
as long as it's dry, 25's are completely fine. I've ridden the entire east to west on 25's with no problems. And my wife packed down her road bike for a bikepacking trip last year and rode 25's - https://andrewchasteen.com/stories/katytrail. If it's wet, you'll find sections where you'll bog down a bit.

Thank you. Scott
Mark from Lee's Summit on 08/20/2018 09:29 AM
The Mississippi Riverfront Greenway Trail runs about 12 miles north from Downtown St. Louis if you are starting near the Arch. Your best be then is to enjoy the longer route across the Mississippi River and utilize the nice trails in Illinois in order to get to Machens. This Illinois route is about 28 miles versus 18 miles, but the shorter Missouri route would require you to ride on major highways with small shoulders. The Illinois route takes you across the Old Chain of Rocks pedestrian/bike bridge into Illinois where you jump on the Madison County Confluence Trail. Take that trail to the northwest past Wood River and into Alton where you can cross back into Missouri using the striped bike lane on the cable-stayed Clark Bridge Hwy. 67). Once you cross back into Missouri, take rough West Alton Trail to get close to St. Charles Street. Then take St. Charles Street to 94 Hwy. to Saale Road to Dwiggins Road to 94 Hwy. to Machens Road...the idea is to use county sidestreets to stay off of 94 Hwy. as much as possible. Machens Road takes you to the Katy trailhead just across the live railroad tracks.
Jerry Whittle from Belleville Il on 08/20/2018 12:40 PM
I would normally agree with Mark about the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. It's worth a trip by itself. However it is often closed and locked lately. I can't seem to find a good web page with the open hours.
However there's another option. Take the Riverfront Trail north and cross over the Mississippi River on the McKinley Bridge. The map below shows it.
http://www.mcttrails.org/map.aspx
One way to avoid Hwy 94 is to not cross the river in Alton. Rather stay on the trail (past the casino on the road for a little while) to Grafton. Then take the Grafton Ferry across the river. This will add more miles plus cost money. Also the Grafton Ferry should be open on the 15th and 16th, but worth checking first.

Mark from Lee's Summit on 08/22/2018 04:29 PM
When I rode from the Katy Trail to Downtown St. Louis three years ago, I avoided the Machens trailhead because there is not much there along the flood plain and the trail is always much rougher for those last 5 to 10 miles to Machens. I crossed before St. Charles at the Page Avenue bridge (Rte. 364) and mapped out a nice scenic route through the best trails and road areas of the city. I pulled up my Garmin history and the distance was right about 30 miles from the Katy Trail to Downtown St. Louis. You can Google Katy Trail to Downtown St. Louis and see my 2015 route or I can even post my Garmin link if you want.

Hello Folks,
Myself, a buddy and his son would like to give a full "thru-bike" of the KT, starting from West to East in summer months of 2019. We're hoping to rely mainly on camping opportunities, free camping if we can help it. We'd like to get in about 50-60 miles a day and I'm wondering if any of you have experienced this before? It seems like after N. Jefferson, camping becomes vary scarce. I've considered Daniel Boone CA as a waypoint in the middle of it all for camping opportunities but welcome you suggestions? I'm a southern Illinoisan excited about giving this awesome MO rail trail a try :) -Shawn
John Hutchins from Pacific on 10/09/2018 05:33 AM
Camping gets a little thinner east of Jeff City, but there are good options. The Turner Shelter in Tebbits, Herman MO city park, Marthasville city park and Klondike Park. I'm not aware of any camping available east of Klondike, though.
Bruce from Pittsburg, ks on 10/09/2018 10:16 PM
The Missouri Dept of Conservation conducts organized rides from Clinton to St. Charles. If fact, they have a ride in progress right now; they are in Booneville tonight. The are fully supported where they haul your gear, provide hot showers, tents for rent, and even bikes for those who fly in. I think they have one in early summer or late spring, too, but maybe someone on this forum could answer that. You couldnt pay someone to shuttle all your camping gear and be at each night's destination cheaper than what the MDC charges. If you have any flexibility in you schedule, its an option you may want to consider.

We camped(mostly) west to east and spent roughly 7-12 pp each night. Pleasant hill caretaker never came to collect payment. Pilot Grove is free. Hermann was nice with brewery in town. Use the trip planner to map out the campsites and figure your mileage from that. Nothing east of Klondike (reservation needed).

Several things.
First, if you are riding self contained (carrying 50# or more of gear) please realize that to get to this park you have to climb one of two very steep paths. The west one is paved and the east one is gravel. Very STEEP, but relatively short. Hard climb after biking 30-50 miles. I’m sure most people walk it.
Second, reserve a site. We were there on a Friday and the place was FULL! I had called two months before and reserved site #24.
Third, do NOT reserve sites 24-28 unless you want to climb an even bigger and longer hill to a campsite with a great view, but no water or showers; just one pit toliet. I’d recommend sites 30-38 as they are close to the shower house (unless you want a quiet out of the way spot, and then I’d recommend sites 11-16).
Lastly, if you do get one of the spots up on the hill (24-28), there was no sign at all saying sites 24-28 this way (like all the rest of the sites), just a sign saying overlook and picnicing.
It’s a beautiful park with great showers and a group kitchen room on one end of the shower house. I’d stay there again, but would get a different site.

The Indian Creek Trail will take you about 26 miles towards your destination but I think it will be roads the rest of the way from the end of the trail.
Allen from Shawnee, Ks on 10/08/2018 10:28 AM
There is a bike path along 150 hiway after you get east of State Line about a mile, it is seperated from the hiway, there is a shoulder on the road up to there. The bike path runs I think to Smart rd, then go south to PH , there isn’t any shoulders after leaving 150 except there may be a bike path along Smart rd for a ways. If you are used to riding roads this is probably doable, if you arent comfortable around traffic it would be best to to find another way. If you come up with another solution please post it as this question comes up now and then.

Parking: (1) 2nd & Osage 2 blocks from the Amtrak station & across the street from the police station, or (2) Katy Trail State Park Trailhead in the DNR parking lot on the east side of the Katy Depot, that is 6-7 blocks away & is next to the Katy trail. The first is convenient if you are taking Amtrak bac to Sedelia.

We stayed at Victoria's Place (formerly Cliff Manor Bed & Breakfast) for a night during our full Katy Trip. (Trip was Aug 17-22)- The manor itself is lovely and Victoria was a fantastic host. There was a lockable shed for bike storage overnight. She had snacks, soda and water all available to us during our stay. It was a little bit rainy that night, but we walked a few blocks for dinner and then Ubered back to the B&B. The breakfast of beignets, fresh fruit and scrambled eggs was a perfect way to start out the next day of riding. The view of the Missouri River and JC Bridge from the back of this home cannot be beat. I highly recommend this B&B if you plan to stay overnight in Jeff City.

Yup, we took the pedestrian bridge over to N. Jefferson City from the N. Jefferson trailhead. This B&B is maybe 50 yards from where the trail spur ends in N. Jefferson; just after crossing the river. We walked maybe a 1/2 block to the Irish pub and had a great dinner. Stayed at B&Bs along the trail, except for the hotel in Sedalia, and all of them were great.

The waitress was incredibly friendly and they appear to be used to the Katy traffic. (and they are not angry about it) Smoking is still allowed in this place BUT they have a giant smokeater machine so it didn't actually smell smoky if that makes sense. The trip from Sedalia was a bit uphill and the trail levels off right after this stop. Pretty typical bar food but it was exactly what we wanted that day. Beers were cold and water glasses were giant.

Jerry was a great host. He greeted us with a hose and cleaned our bikes for us. He had interesting stories and is an awesome cook. Our room was comfortable and quiet. He went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. We would stay again, for sure.

Just stayed with Jerry last week. Great guy. He will run out in the middle of the night to rescue folks. Would definitely stay with his B&B again.
