Last year we rode 70 miles of the trail one weekend. We are going back in March to ride 90 miles. What is the best section of trail to ride if we only have 2 days? Last time we rode from Boonville to Mokane staying in Hartsburg. If you know a better section let me know! We want to do about 50 miles a day. We really loved the Globe Hotel... its hard to pick another section of trail to ride for fear that it wont be as good.

Mokane, go east....many B&B's to chose from. Marthasville for the end of the two days. Regards..........Mark of the Dalton Boys

I have ridden the Katy from Sedalia to St. Charles. I like the Rocheport area and also the magnificent views along the Missouri River hugging the bluffs between Treloar and Marthasville. I'm planning a ride east from Dutzow to Augusta early tomorrow morning (unless I find the trail too soggy) and then walking up to the Immaculate Conception Church for their parish breakfast. The Katy isn't only for the summer.

You've already ridden what most folks consider to be the prettiest part of the trail. So, I agree with Mark, go east and see the rest of the trail. I found parts of the eastern section almost as attractive as the Rocheport area.
