There might not be a trail in the U.S. better suited for a relaxed ride than Missouri’s popular Katy Trail. Car-free, virtually flat, and featuring a crushed-limestone surface, the trail dishes up plenty of towns and attractions (and ice cream stands) along the way to keep things interesting. We’ve also broken the riding into manageable daily distances.

Considered by many to be the crown jewel of North American rail-trail conversions, the Katy Trail will transport us through the heartland of America beside the Missouri River, along a corridor that’s also part of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and the coast-to-coast American Discovery Trail. We’ll pedal through sun-drenched, prairie-turned-farmland and across the Missouri River to New Franklin, then follow the river gently downstream back to Historic St. Charles.

Information for eBike riders:
Because every rider, eBike, road condition, and elevation profile is different, it is ultimately up to the participant to judge best whether their battery will last through each tour day. We recommend using pedal assist in its lowest setting or off when not needed to maximize battery range. Bringing a second battery is also recommended. Remember, there is no vehicle support on our inn-to-inn trips, and you would need to carry the extra battery along with all of your other things.
