A group of us are thinking of riding theKaty in early May. I see that May is typically the rainiest month in MO. Other than being prepared w appropriate gear for wet weather, what do you do in case of a thunder storm? There seem to be long stretches with nothing along the trail. Are tornadoes a problem in May? Thanks for any input.

What do you do anywhere else in case of a thunderstorm? What do you normally do during the threat of a tornado or hurricane? Stay inside? Watch the weather and plan outdoor activities accordingly? Seek shelter at a nearby house if necessary? Stay at the trailhead or in a building in town if it's raining? Good question though. I don't know how to come in out of the rain, what should I do?

Things to make a rainy day on a bike less miserable: 1) Shower cap over your helmet, 2) Wear a trash bag as a raincoat, 3) Fenders, 4) Plastic bags over your socks and under your shoes, 5) Irish Whiskey.

Revolution Cycle in Washington does all repairs. They will do come out and do trail side repairs as long as they are not major. Revolution also transports over the bridge going into Washington. See the earlier comment. Their phone number is;636-390-9999. Great shop, quality repairs.
