Growing up in MO we would ride bikes on the Katy Trail. I have good memories of it and have wanted to have Cory go with me when we visit my parents. This time we had the time, Dad had the bikes, and so Cory and I rode while Dad was our pit crew. He was getting over strepthroat, so wasn’t up to peddle, but wanted to come along. He met us at each stop on our route and we would refill our water and drink Gatorade that he had in the truck. It was a lot of fun!
Not pictured is the wild amount of honeysuckle that scented most of our ride. It smelled so good!
There are stops along the trail with a parking lot, map of the route, etc. Sometimes it stops in a town and theres restaurants nearby. We went a little over 17 miles and had a nice leisurely afternoon.
The trail roughly follows the Missouri River, so we had some nice river views for part of the way!
This cool sunflower mural was close to the end of our ride.
