I have just discovered the Katy Trail. About how long does it take to bike the whole thing?
 
just sayin' from kcmo on 12/19/2012 7:04:30 PM:
1-10 days, but your mileage may vary.

Sam, the entire Katy trail is 237 miles long. Divide how many miles a day you feel comfortable riding into the distance you want to travel. I like to take 3 days and ride 70+ per day.

A leisurely 5 days at 40 to 50 miles a day works! Taking in the sights and visiting with people makes it a more enjoyable trip, IMO.

I've done it a few times in 3. Clinton-Boonville. Boonville-Rhineland. Rhineland-St. Charles.

Ride back to Hermann on day 4 and catch Amtrak back to Kansas City (home).

One day, or a lifetime. It all depends on how and why you ride. There's something new to discover every mile.
