I kinda plan to do the whole KATY trail on spring break of 07. it's gonna be a stretch, but i believe i can do it. what do you do about fresh water. i have a camelback, but i drink a lot of water.

most ( but not all) of the trail heads have a water source.
The DNR is working on it but not too terribly quickly.

The TH's that do have a water source is well water. Not refrigerated (aren't we a spoiled bunch? hahah)

My suggestion to you is to fill and refill EVERY chance you get.
I rode the trail round trip last year and figured that out really fast!

need any more info, contact me at dsnimmo@gmail.com
have fun!

Depending on the time of the year, if it's early spring, even some of the TH water sources are turned off. Most of the businesses in the towns however will let you fill up your water bottles.

Note that Camelback bladders (and their packs) are available in a number of capacities. The largest being 3 liters (a little more than 3 quarts). If you have one of those, 2 water bottles on your bike, and top off at every trailhead with water, you should have no trouble with water intake. You may have trouble finding approved places of disposing of all that water. :)

The railroad needed water every 10 miles, so they built a town every 10 miles. You shouldn't
have problem finding water as most, not all, but most, of those little towns still have a place
where you can get water.
