We are planning a trip to ride the Katy Trail (husband & I) and probably would bike between 35 and 50 miles per day on hybrids. Hopefully, we could do 3 days but it may only be 2. Where to start on the trail (we will be coming by car from Milwaukee), lodging between trails, and shuttle services would be helpful. Since everyone says Rocheport is very scenic, would like to include that leg on our trip. Any other comments or sites/maps, suggestions would be appreciated.

Definately need to stop at Doty's in Hartsburg to eat. Great food, bike friendly, non-smoking, wonderful pie & cobbler. They're closed Sunday afternoon & Monday. For an overnight try the Globe Hotel. Old historic hotel that's now a B&B.

While I love all of the trail - each section has it's own charms and challenges - the 25 miles from Rocheport to Hartsburg is about as pretty as it gets in my opinion. I would definitely include that section in my plans. Lots of Lewis and Clark history along this section as well.

Have a great trip.
