I'm thinking about riding from Columbia to St. Louis and am just trying to estimate how long it might take me. I'm wondering, are there are a lot of hills or is one direction more uphill or downhill than the other direction? Also, what are some of the fastest times for riding the entire trail?

Hans, since you live in Columbia take a ride from Columbia to either Rocheport or McBaine. That will give you a good idea of what to expect. Columbia to the Katy is mostly downhill and the rest of the trail to St. Charles is flat.
