From May 4-6th in the year of our Lord 2010, Daniel Hans and I biked the Katy Trail from Columbia to St. Charles, MO. It was a great adventure. The following three posts (with photos) chronicle our trip.Pic 1 - Heading out! MLK spur trailhead, Stadium Blvd in Columbia, MO. Little did we know that there was construction on a bridge on the trail three miles down and we would have to huff back and take a detour south on Forum Blvd to Nifong and all the way out to Scott Blvd. Add on a few miles to our already long day!
Peddling in the footsteps of some great men.
Biking past the City of Jefferson and the capital of the great state of Missouri.
This is Standing Rock. On the side of the rock there are markers from the water level of the floods of 1903, 1944 and 1993.
We made it to our B&B. Day one was our longest day and I was glad to have it over. Staying at the house hotel (as Dan calls it) were three ladies from Wisconsin biking part of the trail together. We had a wonderful time around the dinner table. I guess you could call this place a Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. Our host Doug had BBQ chicken, corn on the cob and salad waiting for us when we arrived.
