I am setting a scene in a book on a Katy Trail ride starting from St. Charles in the morning. I need the characters to ride far enough to stop, get lunch, and return to St. Charles by mid-afternoon. They are fairly proficient riders and in good shape. How far would they get? Is Defiance too far?

Defiance sounds reasonable - that's a 40 mile round trip, which is not a big deal for someone who bikes regularly. It might take a couple of hours each direction. Plus, heading out of St Charles you won't find any restaurants until you get to Defiance anyway.

In September of 06 my brother and I did just that. We are both in our early 50's. We logged 55 miles. We started out at 9 am and were back in St. Charles by 3 pm. the ride was easy for the both of us. About every hour and a half we would stop and have a snack and stretch. I retospect we could have done 75 to 80 with no problem.
