I'm planning to ride the century+ (104mi) on the 25th of Step., assuming the weather is decent. I plan to carry very little, other than food, water, and typical tools and a spare tube. I've ridden the Katy (and MKT) for over a decade, but never this stretch.



Are there any trail hazards I should be aware of along the way, i.e. wash-outs, etc.? Also, I'd like to know of things to check out along the ride in the smaller towns, but nothing that will take me too far off the trail. I'm not looking to go to any restaurants or museums, but I carry a camera with me and love to take photos.



If anyone else has done this ride, what's an expected time frame? I'm planning on 7-8hr of ride time assuming the wind isn't being hateful.

 
Cathy from Jefferson City on 09/08/2010 11:48 PM
Do you have Brett Defur's book on the Katy Trail? He describes an abandoned church between N. Jefferson City and Tebbets that has a cemetery and a pretty good view of the countryside. This is close to the area where Cote Sans Dessien was. I could be wrong, but I think it's around the 134 mile marker. Hwy 94 is along the trail there. On the highway, you will see a sign, I think it says something like Barker Christian Church. It's an old wood sign, easy to miss. That sign is to the old church. If you go north of the trail, you'll see what used to be a sort of road up the hill, to your right. Walk up that hill, probably about 1/2 mile or so and you'll see the church, if it is still there. I saw it last year. I thought the cemetary was neat, there was at least one headstone for a Boone.

 
Chuck L from Jefferson City on 09/14/2010 05:53 AM
To add a little to Cathy's comments. I think you are referring to the town of Wainwright, the website says mile 137.6. I am afraid the church is gone. I saw it being demolished a couple months ago and it was just a pile of lumber then. Now its just an empty lot. Rather a loss to this small community I would say. The church seemed to make the place a "community" rather than just a collection of houses. It is still a nice diversion to ride up the road, a pleasant neighborhood but perhaps a "town" no more. I lament the loss of the small towns of Missouri, things just aren't the same.

 
Gary from Near Tebbetts on 09/14/2010 03:56 PM
Here's my two cents - Cathy is referring to the Barkersville Church - the only part left of what once was the Barkersville village that was located about half way between Wainwright and Tebbetts. I haven't been there in a while so I'm not sure if the Church is still standing or not. Cote Sans Dessien (hill without Design) is still there and can be seen from the park bench near MM 134. From the park bench you will be looking across the field to the middle of the hill where the French settlement once stood.

 
Kurt from St. Charles on 09/15/2010 11:59 AM
Aaron, I'm familiar w/ the Peers - St. Charles stretch. I've traveled it very recently.



1) Hazard I've noted is snakes. The snakes tend to kind of chill out on the trail on the parts that are less traveled. They have taken me by surprise because they straighten their bodies so they look like the twigs that you commonly come across. The rule I developed for myself is to steer clear of any oblong object even if it looks benign on my approach.



2) Second hazard is downed trees. I’ve nearly ridden right into a downed tree at dusk. If you’ll only ride w/ good light, this shouldn’t be a concern, but I thought I’d mention it.

 
David in St. Louis from St. Louis on 09/15/2010 05:00 PM
Hey Aaron,



The best advice I could give you: be sure to fill your water bottles in Defiance. There is really nothing between Weldon Spring and St. Charles, and it's a long trip when you are out of water. Stop in and see the FANTASTIC folks at Katy Bike Rental. They are kind enough to allow access to their water, so I always patronize this shop (bought a new headband last time, and I always need something).



If you don't already have Brett's book, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's the best source for all things KT. I found out about the book here on the site and you can find it in most book stores. I am looking forward to meeting him along the trail someday.



I might see you along the way - have been debating taking AmTrak out there and doing that part of the trail on the 25th.



Wishing you good weather and a nice tailwind,

David




 
Aaron from Columbia on 09/19/2010 11:21 PM
I'll check out that book. Thanks, everyone!

I'm riding the Trans America Trail East to West next May. Is there a preferred route to hook up with the Katy Trail (perhaps following the Mississippi North or Hwy 47 north from Farmington?) and also to reconnect with the TransAM from Clinton? Thanks very much.

 
chris from centralia, IL on 09/19/2010 02:58 PM
I road part of the Trans Am 10 years ago across Illinois and ended in Perryville, MO. From Farmington to the KATY is doable on Rt 47 but there is no bike frindly route from the Missippi to the KATY that I know of. You might consider going north in Illinois (maybe Rt 3) and crossing the river north of St Louis on the Chain or Rocks bridge, then head to St Charles. There are links on this website that can help you pick a route to St Charles after crossing the bridge. Good luck.

Looks like you’ll be heading toward Pueblo, CO thru KS from the Katy. Most TransAM riders find this trail a welcome relief from the hot blacktop curves and hills of southern MO.



Of the TransAM journals/logs I’ve read, no specific routes lead to or from the Katy. It’s more like wide swaths of several wing-it-yourself possibilities. Your choice of Route-47 is as good as any. It will take you thru Washington, which is a very nice town. Be careful crossing the Missouri Bridge north of there tho; it’s fairly narrow. Once across, you’ll hit the Dutzow trailhead, where you’ll only miss about 20-mi of scenic riding on the east end of the trail.



After you reach Clinton, the swath goes southwest, toward the Butler, MO region, from where riders head toward several KS places like, Garnett, Pittsburg, Chanute, Eureka, or Newton to get back on the TransAM pathway to Route-96 which takes you to Pueblo.



The ones who go to Garnett might take a 25-mi stretch of the Prairie Spirit rail-trail down to Iola, from where they will start heading west again. You’ll be okay whatever you do. Just make sure you can cross to the northside of the Missouri River okay. Enjoy the springtime Katy wildlife!

I think there is some confusion on the campgrounds. Countryside RV & Campground is on the south end of 65 highway only accessible from hwy 65 and they are strictly an RV Park they do not have set up for tents. The Missouri Sate Fairgrounds are accessible from the Katy Trail and have camping for tents, campers and RV's.

Hope this helps

Mel from JC on 09/03/2010 11:54 PM
There is only a bikeable shoulder on the northbound bridge. It is completely closed for

construction of the new bike ped bridge. To cross the river now, you must ride with traffic.

Northbound is slowed to 45 mph through the work zone, but lanes are narrow. It is probably

doable during non-peak hours. The work zone is not that long and then you can use the

shoulder the rest of the way, but there is no way back. Southbound has no shoulders and

60mph. Construction will be finished next spring. You can watch a live video of the work at -

We ended up parking at the long term commuter parking lot off of

Airport Rd & bicycled over to the Jeff City trail head to start our trip on the Katy Trail instead of trying to ride over the Jeff City bridge. Jeff City is not a bicycle-friendly city. The bridge will be nice when it is finished.

 
Chuck L from Jefferson City on 09/14/2010 05:26 AM
Mel's comments are well taken and I would agree that biking over the bridge is a risky proposition unless the traffic is really scarce. It is not that way at most hours of the day and remember you have to return sometime. For my money, I would not do it. I do claim to be the last guy to ride across the bridge before the lane closure occurred. I had gone up expressly to ride the bridge and had to ride past some "bike lane closed" signs but made it over and back just minutes before they began putting up cones and barriers.

The new bike lane bridge addition will be a real asset to the city and protect riders and hikers. As to whether it should cost $6.7 million, it seems pretty expensive to me. Why do we need a steel ramp/tower to climb up to the bridge? Why not access the bridge from Airport Rd via a protected bike lane? Guess I'm too dense to understand this one.

Lisa Friedemann-School House B&B from Rocheport on 09/11/2010 05:02 PM
I don't know where you are staying, but is it perhaps just that the time the regular guest breakfast is served does not work with your schedule? Have you asked the innkeeper for a contintental breakfast option if you plan to leave early?

Every logdging establishment in Rochpeport is required to include at least a continental-type breakfast for overnight guests since 'bed and breakfasts' are the only form of lodging allowed by city ordinance. This applies both to the full service Inns and the unhosted, budget properties that cater mainly to cyclists. For example, our Dormitory rooms are stocked with breakfast items such as muffins, cereal, yogurt, fruit, juice and coffee so cyclists can eat as early as needed. Our full service School House Inn serves a multi-course guest breakfast at 9 am year-round, earlier times available on weekdays during cyclist season upon request, and even a continental breakfast tray option for super-early departures.

The Trailside Cafe' opens at 9 am most days (8 am on Saturdays) so your B&B should be able to provide you an earlier option for at least a continental breakfast. We don't want to send you down the trail hungry!

We stayed there in the Spring and it was adequate. We did not have high expectations, just a low budget. The room was under $70 for three of us and everything just worked. After 60 miles of trail all we really needed was a shower that worked and a bed. Forget the breakfast which was served in one of the rooms, just go about 30 yards to a great little breakfast diner.



If someone is looking for the romantic experience or top quality and service, aim higher than a family owned motel I would suggest. The view from the street of the complex tells the story.

Have stayed there twice and was a great experience each time. Didn't have dinner at the B&B (walked up to the courthouse square and ate at Arris's Greek Pizza~yum), but the breakfast was fantastic each time....best I've ever had at a B&B. Looking forward to staying there again!
