Katy Trail Day One Clinton to Sedalia (April 8, 2021)

After 2-3 years of talking about riding the Katy Trail, we looked at the long-range forecast and decided that sunny weather in the 60's and 70's looked like a good window of opportunity. Accommodations were booked, bikes readied, gear packed, and we headed to Clinton Missouri to start our ride over a planned 6 days with a rest day. The weather shifted slightly on us and we had 2 days of rain, one light, and one heavy. This made us shift our ride a bit and we ended up riding the trail from Clinton to St Charles in 7 days. Glad we did it the week we did as a week later they are experiencing snow in Missouri!

Our first ride was from Clinton to Sedalia (40 miles) on a cloudy misty day after a day of hard rain. Overall, the trail was in good condition and we only had about 5 miles of very soft trail from Windsor to the high point of the Katy Trail. Our decision to start riding at 9 am in the morning paid off as we got to Sedalia just as the rain really let loose. A very nice section of trail that gets remote after following the road for 10 miles.
