Rode on the Katy Trail today, which used to be the Kansas and Texas
railroad. I love rail trails! It was mostly crushed limestone and
gravel, shaded in the woods. Bad things about the Katy trail: gravel
isn't fun to ride on with a road bike, lots of flat tires (not me yet)
and there are lots and lots of mosquitos. Good things: shade-which is
really nice when it's over 90 degrees and humid, protected from the
wind, flat, no cars, and it's very nice to be able to talk with each
other and ride side by side. A couple of us stopped at a beautiful
Winery and Vineyard before biking the rest of the way to our host. We
are staying right along the Missouri river, so a walk to the
riverfront was very nice. As was some nice free Sonic cherry limeade
and icecream.
