Suggestions for three days of riding
Go to Forum

I've got three days to ride the Katy next week with my first grader on our new tandem
(DaVinci JV). He's an experience rider. Last year we did some touring in Europe with him
on a tag-along with a few 150km days and 300km+ three-day rides on mixed surfaces
like the Katy. My wife will drop us off, stay with family in central MO and pick us up a few
days later. I'm still trying to decide on the camping gear, but am leaning toward fast/light
credit card touring.

Where would you suggest getting on and which direction would you go?

Thanks.

Stay at the many B&B's along the trail, best use of the light credit card touring. Do the whole trail Clinton to St. Charles, or knock off 40 miles and start in Sedalia. Much more interesting to finish in St Charles.

Hope the weather cooperates with the timing of your trip. I'm sitting here in my office in Jefferson City looking out the window. Heavy cloud cover and a high so far today (Noon) of 46 degrees Fahrenheit.

Are you a government employee?

I live in a country with a government of the people, by the people, for the people. I guess that makes us all government employees.

Not so much.

I used to live in a country with a government of the people, by the people, for the people; now, I live in a country with a government of the politicians, by the politicians, for the politicians and the rest of us be darned.

I would suggest some alternate roads along the trail just in case the trail is bogged down or rained out during this time of the year.

Our Santana is a fair weather machine. She gets pampered and keeps a firm footing...off the chat trail when it's wet.
