Here's a real good web site devoted to both the Katy and Rock Island. The comments section is a good place to gather information

Katy Trail Missouri Trail Maps, Businesses, Events, Mileage, and more

Thank You for the response. I will check out the website

last June I was in Windsor and some guy about my age was calling it quits his arse was sore

his son who I would guess was 14-15 years old wanted to ride on. Middle age guy was calling his wife for a bailout his son was disappointed. He stated the RIL was rough with real gravel but his bike was adequate to deal with the road conditions. My best bet was his bike shorts was cheap and I have learned over the years cheap shorts = pain in arse. Anyway I look forward to The Katy Trail again this year

and I’m 50 so yes I am middle aged.
