Has this moved to near MU? Last I knew this was out at the corner of I-70 and 63. If so, it may be a stay by car but is not a short easy ride from the Katy by bike.

GM, does your hotel have a van to transport us over Rt 63 to either the MKT downtown or down to McBaine to get on the KT? Like the other post said, the hotel location is not real bike friendly.

I've stayed in Columbia many times. By far the best bike location is Hampton Inn. The 70 / 63 cluster is not good at rush hour, or really any hour. There's a path / access road behind the Wal-Mart that gets you to Stephens Lake park. If you're trying to get downtown from 70 / 63 I'd suggest using this, you can see it on the aerials. Go through the park and then use Walnut to get to downtown area. Broadway into downtown is not fun.

We've ridden Stadium Drive from the Martin Luther King trailhead to the motels on I-70 and won't again. There is too much traffic and too many hills that are not necessary to find lodging.

I've since ridden the spur to Flat Branch Park and then cut across campus to the Hampton Inn. Much easier. And there are several places to eat between Flat Branch and the Hampton.

For the Hampton Inn on campus isn't jumping on K to Providence Rd. from the KT pretty good too? Seems the MKT gets crowded pretty easily.
