We are planning a long weekend ride in late May . Having only 2 and half days to ride and leaving and returning to the same point . From your past experience what section would you ride and where would you camp ?

Not sure how to answer the question completely, as I've never camped on
the KATY. I have ridden it on numerous occasions and I would - for sure
- include the 25 miles from Rocheport to Hartsburg in my ride. I think
it is a really pretty stretch.

AS much as I'd like to have you stay here and ride, with the river and the bluffs right beside you, there are tons of other choices. One of my personal favorites would be to stay at Klondike Park and ride into St.Charles one day and sight see and eat there and then the next day ride west to experience the small town aspect of the trail. Great camping at the park and all the services you'd need during the day. Of course if you camped in New Franklin you could ride west through Boonville and do the slight climb to Pilot Grove and beyond one day and then the next, ride to Rocheport or further and back. Beautiful scenery and services there as well.
