Home base is Columbia, a central point on the Katy Trail.  For the first leg, depart west-bound to Clinton & possible further exploration.  The second, and much longer leg is east-bound to St. Charles/Machens and return.

The adventure will commence on May 4, 2023 and if the trip goes as planned, should end by the 15th completing the entire Katy Trail twice for a total of greater than 500 miles of gravel & dirt.

An un-supported multi-day gravel ride stopping at key points on the trail to soak up the rich history of the area.  I will document on Strava in real time with photo’s and light commentary.

It will most certainly rain at some point, average temps between 40-80F.  Sections of the trail are very remote so having emergency gear is important.
