Does anyone know the status of the Machens Extension? A friend and I are running the Katy Trail the first week of May, and we will be starting in Machens, but didn't know if it would be passable for our support bicyclist with a trailer, or if we should have him meet us in St Charles.

Ribbon cutting on the section from Machens to St Charles is scheduled for Apr 2nd, 2011. The trail should be in fine condition for your May run unless there is very high flooding at that time (part of the trail is on a levee).

Will the Katy Ride this June now be extended to Machens for the end this year?

I'm sure all the logistics, arrangements, and reservations are complete for this years DNR ride. It ends in St. Charles on day 5. I would think that you could ride the St. Charles to Machens section before or after the official ride.

Rick, as of at least 4/3/2011, Machens to St. Charles was completed——crushed limestone just like the rest of the trail. The limestone might be a bit looser than older areas, but it's a good riding surface.

I doubt they will start/end the annual ride in Machens. There is not much there.
