We just returned home (Rapid City, SD) from a 10 day adventure riding the Katy from STL to KC. We took longer than most because we enjoyed spending a night or two in a few places. Was really amazed at the trail, how well it is kept, the number of services along the way. We never were for want of something to eat or others to talk with at most locations.

We stayed at 5 different Airbnb/Bed and Breakfast along the way. One stood out for us in Boonville - the Katy Retreat which we found on this website. We were having some bike issues as we arrived with my bike, and much to my surprise we get to the house (which was just like two or three blocks from trail) and what do we find? A garage filled with bike repair tools and even a lift for the bike to rest on! I was like "Oh thank you! thank you!" Such a pleasant experience, and so appreciated after a long day on the trail.

Another shout out goes to Kende's BBQ in Sedalia - wow. That was a meal fit the most hungry rider. Definitely one of the top 5 BBQ places I have eaten at in my travels.
