We enjoyed the Katy Trail a few summers ago, rode from Clinton to St. Charles in three and a half days. After being shuttled to Clinton and spending the night there in a motel, we rode from Clinton to Pilot Grove the first day of riding, camped in the city park in Pilot Grove, about 62 miles for the day. The second day we rode from Pilot Grove to North Jefferson, about 62-63 miles I believe, then took the Truman Hotel shuttle into Jefferson City (bikes and gear loaded neatly in the shuttle van, a nice surprise) and had a nice stay at the hotel, enjoyed the restaurants, getting cleaned up, etc (this was August, it was hot and dusty on the trail). The third day, after getting shuttled by the hotel back to the North Jefferson trailhead, we rode from North Jefferson to Marthasville, about 65 miles for the day, I believe. We camped in the baseball field complex, were given access to the bathrooms and showers at the ball park; we camped between the ball fields. The fourth day we only had 40-45 miles of riding back to St. Charles, we finished the ride in the early afternoon. A great trip.
