I'm interested in possibly doing the Katy Trail from Clinton to St. Charles/Machens in early to mid-October. I'd like to know if there are any female cyclists who might be interested in joining me? I'm hoping to ride about 40-45 miles per day, but am in no real rush. Planning to stay in B and Bs along the way. Does anyone know of a web site that "matches" interested riders for the Katy Trail? Thanks!

That sounds fantastic and congratulations on your 40th anniversary! Great way to celebrate. I won't be able to do the trail until at least the first week of October, however.

I was wondering the same thing as I'd like to ride the trail (west to east) this year. The Stlbiking forum might be a place to ask too. Drop me an email if your able to gain interest with others in a small group ride..? (eaglewing@charter.net)

I do not fit the female part. However, my son from NY and I are planning to ride somewhere around mid October, probably only from Boonville to Machens, taking three days to do that. We're just in planning stages, depends on when and if he can get in. But if you do not find any female riders, and just want to ride with some other people, you could check with me later so see if dates coincide.

Either way, enjoy the colors - should be good at that time.

I am also looking for a group to ride with. Here are a couple options I've cone up with:
Here is one option:
Day 1 - amtrak to Sedalia arriving ~ 1pm then riding a portion of trail
Day 2 - trail ride to tebetts
Day 3 - trail ride to Augusta
Day 4 - trail ride to St Charles where it would end

Option 2 (flexible schedule):
Day 1 - Amtrak to Sedalia and hit trail ending wherever
Day 2 - trail ride ending wherever
Day 3 - ride till done

I am open and flexible on schedule and lodging arrangements. If interested reply to posting or drop me an email (eaglewing@charter.net) with which option you would consider no later than 9-9-11.
