Here is link to the website elevation map:

The Katy is an old railroad bed and it's flat. It's not what you would call hilly. But it is noticeable. As I recall it slowed me down a couple mph.

Click on the Milage Chart link above. Below the milage chart is a link for an elevation chart. It should give you a pretty good idea of the elevation along the trail.

I rode from clifton city to Booneville and back last weekend and the elevation changes seemed so gradual to me I couldn't always tell if I was going uphill, downhill or level. At no point would the bike coast without slowing down in either direction (34mm tires at 90#). It seems like the slight downhill from approximately the I-70 bridge down into Booneville was the most pronounced. Then again, there may have been delerium at work here.

If your bike will coast without slowing down the last 4 - 5 miles West of Pilot Grove, you need to patent that sucker. :)
