This is to give you fare warning about the Katy trail. We rode from Boonsville to Mokane and it was a nightmare. Its long, hot, bad gravel road, and those dang mile markers, beware just be very ware.

To each his own. Every inch of the trail has something to offer me. In general, this section is great for chewing up miles. It's very flat, with very few road crossings, and (if I recall correctly) is well maintained. Other than the Rocheport area, it can be extremely solitary. This also condusive to riding head down to eat up the miles. When wanting to take in the view, there are the bluffs from Rocheport to Jefferson City, the famous tunnell at Rocheport, and the occasional hard body from MU jogging along.

The distance that you ride is up to you! That can be long or short.

The heat along the trail depends on each day and the time of day.

The Katy Trail was constructed as just that....a trail..not with the intent to be a "good" gravel road.

Those dang mile markers kinda give that railroad retro effect don't ya think? My computer lets me quickly jump back to the future though.

What is it that we all need to be aware of??

It's Missouri in May, you're supposed to expect hot and humid !! If you want smooth, then ride on the roads and fight the traffic !!
