West from St Louis | Cycle Touring | Keppel's Vlog 13 | Katy Trail 1

Описание к видео West from St Louis | Cycle Touring | Keppel's Vlog 13 | Katy Trail 1

Over five days, I rode across the state of Missouri, following the Katy trail - the longest rails-to-trails conversion in the United States. This former section of the MKT (Missouri-Kansas-Texas) railroad has had the rails removed and the surface replaced with crushed limestone. Most people ride the trail from west-to-east (KC to St. Louis) - which means that they generally head downhill. I tackled the tougher east-to-west route, though the elevation change only really starts once you get to Boonville (day 3 & 4 of my trip).

To get to the trailhead near St. Louis, I took an Amtrak train from Lee's Summit. Having never taken a bike aboard a train before, I included a bit of what the trip was like in this video. Skip to the Kirkwood marker (03:04) if you'd like only to see cycling material.

Day 1 - Kirkwood Station to Defiance (34 miles, avg. 10mph / 55 km, avg. 16 kph)
Day 2 - Defiance to Tebbetts (78 miles, avg. 10.8 mph / 125.5 km, avg. 17.3 kph)

Komoot is my gps tracker, and you're welcome to follow me there if you want a .gpx file of the route I took.

Planning your own trip on the Katy trail? I highly recommend the spreadsheet designed by David Herholz. It made my trip planning much easier.
