I made my first ride on the Katy this week. Starting in Clinton Sunday and ending in St.Charles, Wed. noon. The things that stick out in my mind on this trip was the kindness of the Sedalia drivers Sunday. Stopping and waving me through trail intersections. In Cliffton City, At what I can only guess is the town trail greeter. A friendly gentleman with large grey beard, who will talk your leg off. The nice town of Pilot Grove, prety town, nice people. The welcoming sight of the shelter at Tebbetts. Please riders if you use this shellter (or just ride by) stop and make a donation. The trail has some wash out issues 4 miles east of Tebbets to Portland. The great food in Herman (barrel burgers rule). The store at Peers is a must stop. Klondike Park is great camp ground. And riding your bike down the brick streets on the river front in St. Charles. This trip is a will be repeated but, the next trip I will take more time to soak it in.
