My friend and I are thinking about going on the DNR 2008 Katy Trail Ride. Could someone
tell us what this ride is like and what to expect? Thanks for your advice in advance.

I did the ride last year. Here is a link to the ride journal and photos: http://mostateparks.com/katytrail/2007ride.htm

I found the ride to be enjoyable. Some days were easy, others were a little challenging. The food was acceptable to very good. The evening entertainment was not as good (in my opinion - I don't mean to knock the efforts of those who worked so hard.) The weather was very good the first 3 days, and hot and humid the last 2.

When I crashed and scraped myself up, help was quick to arrive. And another rider gave up a spare tire so I could finish the last day.

Good scenery, good campsites, and if you like to socialize, lots of people to talk to. I thought it was a good deal and I enjoyed it more than when I made solo Katy trips in previous years. I'll probably do it again in a couple years.

And I forgot to add: The shower truck is great!
