The wife and I are planning on making the trek from N. Jefferson City to Marthasville around the end of September and were wanting to know what supplies would be good to take with us.

That's about 66 miles. Are you going to do it in one day or more? Regardless, I suggest you have the Katy Trail map (there's plenty at the N.Jefferson trail head), water, (as much as you can carry) snacks, money, change (in case you are at a small town with no store/food place, but there is a soda machine you can use) a camera to record the great time you're going to have, cell phone to call for help, if you can repair your own bike tire a repair kit for that in case you have a flat, sun block, bug spray. If you're on the trail at dusk sometimes you'll run in places with gnats, mosquitoes, or such. They aren't bad while you're biking, but when you stop they can be annoying.
