We rode the Katy Trail in 2015, had a great time. Rode it west to east from Clinton to St. Charles. Great video, thanks! Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany; then the Cowboy Trail. 🙂
Nice. I did Kansas City to Clinton to Jefferson City and bailed due to rain. I had rain every day and the forecast was 4 more days so I decided to catch the train back to Kirkwood on Day 4 and avoid all the rain out to Machens. So this trip I was able to see St Charles, Hermann, Washington, etc.
Excellent video we are headed there next month !!!
Awesome! Save room for the food at the Hermann Wurst Haus - really good stuff. Another really fun stop along the way was the Meriweather bike shop and café right on the trail in Rocheport. Loved that place! Great to sit outside and get something to eat in the middle of the day
Nice job (again) :)
Thanks - I think these get better each time. I decided to stretch this one out into 18 minutes instead of a two-part but kept with the ~3min per day. I find the pacing of that works well.
Great video
Thanks! We had a great time. There's nothing like bike touring to get one's mind out of the day-to-day and into what I call the "cycle"-cadian rhythms of eat, ride, sleep, repeat.
@@AdventuresWithPaul I agree. It's therapeutic. I just got a GoPro recently but haven't had the time to upload but I will soon. I am in Central Florida
Outstanding!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏❤️
Thanks - hope we can get together and do another tour. Shannon wants to do RAGBRAI but next year is the 50th anniversary so I think it's going to be tough to get in with the lottery. Probably better RAGBRAI #51.
I live in st. Charles county and these bike trails are incredible but please wile on the trail please take a side trip to one of the 100's of wineries in the state
That's a good idea - next time I ride through I'll look into wineries. Even if I can't carry bottles of wine on the bike at least I can enjoy a tasting :-)
do you have a route that you took from kirkwood to st charles ? that looks pretty nice
sure do! you can access the route at the bottom of this page www.cycleblaze.com/journals/mktduo/day-1-back-in-the-game/. at aroun 10 miles the trail goes off road onto bike paths
When did you do the ride? It looks like we went through about the same time in the other direction.
Started in Kirkwood Sep 18 and finished in Sedalia Sep 24. Looking at your channel, it looks like you've done a lot of stuff in the Atlanta area as well (we both have videos on Carrollton, Swamp Rabbit, Silver Comet, etc). How did you like the Katy?
@@AdventuresWithPaul exactly why I reached out, we did the Rock Island to Katy from KC to STLO from 10-15 September. Monument to Monument.
I have a simple proposition, meet in the ATL, compare notes as you were the one who convinced us to try Carrollton, you even got credit.
Let's looks towards November - maybe we can do a day ride into town from Decatur or something
@@AdventuresWithPaul perfect, I reached out with a PM to your FB.
Is there part 2?
not for this trip, we ended in Sedalia and I decided to make this trip all in one video. I’m currently on the Ohio to Erie trail in (where else?) Ohio so stay tuned for that video to drop once I complete the trail. thanks for checking in
