I’m leaving 10/5 to ride the Katy from Clinton to St. Charles. Given the forecast for rain from Hurricane Helene into, at least, eastern Missouri, what kind trail conditions might I expect. I’m still undecided as to which of my bikes to bring. I know that’s a week away but I need to start firming up my bike plans. I understand wider wheels may be better but they are, of course, heavier.

It will dry up over the next few days and the forecast for the next week is mostly sunny and highs in the 70s, so the trail conditions should be great. The trail on the Kansas City side of the state is already dry and pretty dusty again. You mainly have to look out for small washouts by entrances and driveways where you can get some loose gravel spots. The leaves will start falling soon and those will start covering things like walnuts and some of the loose gravel spots. The wider tires are really not needed.

No rain in Columbia, either. Cloudy and breezy.
