I'm looking at riding the KATY this coming June. How busy is the trail at this time? I know the 2011 KATY Trail Ride is later that month. I plan on doing the entire trail.

It will probably depend on the weather. If it's raining....not so busy. If it's sunny and 70....there may be some riders out. Trailheads my be congested at times, but it's not a deal breaker. Unless you're bring a group of several hundred, there'll be room.

We rode the trail last June, the same week as the DNR ride, but in the opposite direction. Between Clinton and Sadalia I think we only saw 2 other riders. Between Sedalia and Boonville only 3 or 4 others. There were a dozen or so in the Rocheport area. We passed the DNR riders at Mokane, but we were on the trail before most of them, so only saw about a dozen of them also. There were a dozen or so on the trail between Weldon Spring and St. Charles, that was it for the entire week. It was very hot and humid that week and the flooding forced some off trail detours, so that may have made a difference in the traffic.

If you're riding during the week you won't see much traffic. On the weekends you will probably see fairly heavy traffic around Rocheport and the stretch from Green's Bottom into St Charles. It's a nice time to ride - just watch out for families and slow down when you approach kids. Kids (being kids) will generally find something more interesting to watch than oncoming bikers.

St.Charles area on the weekend would be what your traffic area on the weekend. I like to ride the trail during the week and there has been times that I might see 10 bikers on the entire trip, excluding the Metro area.
