My partner and I, both in our early 50s, just completed biking the entire Katy Trail. What a great adventure! We are so very fortunate to have this beautiful and well-maintained trail running across our state, beside the lovely Missouri River and beneath majestic bluffs, through cornfields and mostly-forgotten river and railroad towns. The six full days of riding were harder than I thought, but equally gratifying. We met many kind and friendly people along the way, helped with two "lost" dogs, drank several excellent local beers, and discovered yet again why experiencing nature is the best natural high there is! Though we'll never bike the Katy Trail end-to-end again, we will certainly return to ride our favorite sections and continue to support this tremendous Missouri state asset that is the Katy Trail!

Jammer, my husband and I (both 52yrs) also just completed this week our end to end on the Katy Trail. Our finish point was the Mississippi River in Portage Des Souix. We couldn't agree with you more. We plan on doing it again next year and staying at different B&B to experience all it has to offer. We saw several things to do that we said we would get next time. Everyone that is capable should ride the Katy and experience all that our Missouri has to offer us.

Both of your testimonies have me even more excited about our first west to east journey on the Katy. We, too, are staying at B&Bs along the way. Thanks so much!

JL we went home to Indepenendence following the hwy 94 and 50 retracing where we had been. When so saw people riding that day we were sort of jealous it wasn't us again. After a two day rest we were so ready to attack the trail again. We are already planning a fall 3 day trip.

Congratulations Jammer! Life is not about how many breathes that we take, but what takes our breathe away. trailjournals/DreamWalker

My husband and I are planning a trip to ride on the Katy Trail. We are trying to decide how many miles we can go in a day. How many miles did you ride in a day? We are thinking about fall time. When do your trees start changing color?

Anonymous on 6/21/2012 9:18:36 AM:

Taking six days, they averaged around 40 or so each day. Peak fall color is usually mid October but that can vary by days or weeks depending on the weather conditions.
