- Bike Touring The Katy Trail
Mile 264 to 163, This is part one.
I'd like to toss out the entire video but I'm having issues getting my videos to render, so I'll be uploading in sections.
I drove to St Charles the night before my trip started. Slept in my car in the parking lot at the Bike Stop Cafe, which is who I was getting the shuttle ride from.
On the first day I got shuttled from St Charles to Clinton MO, Mile 264 on the Katy Trail.
The shuttle ride was around four hours, 8am to noon.
Day 1, Shuttle ride and biked from mile 264 to 227, Clinton to Sedalia. I was gonna camp at the State fair grounds but couldn't find where the camping area was so I camped at the Katy Park.
Day 2, Mile 227 to mile 163. I camped at Coopers but wouln't recommend it. Theres no shower or food available and they charged $38. They told me $30 but i was billed 38.
The Katy Trail State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Missouri that contains the Katy Trail, the country's longest continuous recreational rail trail. It runs 240 miles, largely along the northern bank of the Missouri River, in the right-of-way of the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad.
I'm never sure what to put down as my description, or if any one even reads this. Comment and let me know if you actually read this, and if theres any info you wanna see when you do look up the description. Any feedback will only help me produce better quality content lol

You did a great job with everything including drone, music, photography, comments, and historical sites. Your unique style of talking and admitting your memory isn’t the best is something most of us can relate to. I just bought a hybrid bike with plans to ride the Katy Trail next year. Thanks
@@TerryW5379 I try to be myself and be upfront with things. I’m also real bad at pronouncing the names of a lot of places lol
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, if you haven’t make sure you subscribe and follow along
Nice video. I love bike trails. Thanks for doing this!
@@normiewoo787 thanks for taking the time to watch!
If you haven’t, subscribe and follow along! My next video is biking the coast to coast trail across Florida, it’ll be out Friday!
@@TheBane1979 Ok. Sounds good. Thanks.
The KATY is a great trail that everyone should ride. Excellent job on the video Bane!
Thank you! Second part should be up next week
I just realized I didn't really label any of the stuff in this video. I'll have to try to go back and add bookmarks!
What an awesome trail! Loved the small towns along the way. Glad you got to do it!
Yea, it had been on my list since I started biking. (To be fair, I’ve only been at it a year. This was my one year anniversary ride lol)
Oh, and yes I read the decriptions.lol My 2 cents would be to just put down starting locations, where you parked and just general info. I watch these videos to see if I want to go do. That info is greatly appreciated.
@@ericcopass7483 I’ll definitely up date the description and add that info! Thanks
Nice commentary! I liked your video editing and drone footage. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I enjoy the adventures and trying to share my stuff, it means a lot that people watch and comment!
Great footage & good editing so far. Looking forward to more great content. I am considering doing this trail in Fall of 2024.
It’s definitely one of those trails every one needs to do! The second half will be posted up Friday!
Just now watched your 1st part of Katy trail. Always good to see bike videos. Good job.
@@pppjourneyonabike5992 thanks! It adds a lot of weight and time trying to get video, but it’s also expands the hobby. (Gives me something to do between trips lol)
I’ve got an ever growing list of trips planned!
Love your videos! Can’t wait to do the Katy this fall!! Happy trails!
I think fall is probably an awesome time to ride it
A great video! A very good job of getting interesting shots! I enjoy seeing the KATY again. I joined a group ride put on by the MO DNR 2 different years, and enjoyed it very much. It was a well supported ride with camping, SAG transportation, and breakfast and Dinner and a hot shower truck provided over the 5 day ride. I think we had about 300 riders total in the group. The camping was in different towns each year, so it made it more interesting. This was about 15-17 years ago, and now that I am retired I hope that I can do it one more time before I get to old to do the ride.
@@arnoldgrubbs2005 my thought process is that we get too old when we stop doing it. Unless you get injured and just can’t, keep at it! Riding in those groups is probably a lot of fun, a lot of opportunity to socialize would probably really help the ride be enjoyable. I’m contemplating trying to do one of those rides
@@TheBane1979 Yes, I think you are right about keeping at it! The KATY was fun, riding and camping with 1 or 2 friends from back home, along with the rest of the group made it very enjoyable. It was HOT the 1st year I was with the group, at night it only got down to the mid 80's, and was happy that I picked up a small battery powered fan for use at night in my tent. Since the SAG trucks (Support and Gear) carried our camping stuff from camp to camp, the extra weight didn't matter, and made for better sleep! - - Life got busy about the last 3-4 years on either side of my retirement from work, but as things simmer down now, I still have a few bikes that look at me from the storage shed and I can hear them calling me to go ride!
@@arnoldgrubbs2005 keep at it! We don’t stop playing cause we get old, we get old cause we quit playing!
Very enjoyable video! You captured some beautiful shots. This trail is definitely on my Someday List. Looking forward to Part 2!
Thank you! Second part should be up next week. I’m finishing it up now.
Excellent video. The landscape change from farmlands to big river limestone bluffs is really cool. Videography and music really good! Waiting eagerly for Part 2.
It’s about done. I’ll be releasing it Friday morning. I’m trying to test the RUclips algorithms lol
Great content, great video quality. Looking forward to the next part.
It should be up this week. I’m releasing it Friday, I’m trying to test a theory lol
added one more bike trail into my wishlist, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! It definitely needs to be on your list!
Great video, dude. Awesome trail.
Thanks! I should send you some crushed stone audio lol
Looks like it would be a hot trail to ride in summer.
@@mhe8545 definitely would be. A lot of open areas.
I did it in the summer it was real hot! If I did it again it would be early spring.
I enjoyed watching your video. Have subscribed and will check out the other content. I live in Columbia, MO and am trying to section the Katy this summer. Then maybe end to end in October. I ride the area between Rocheport and Cooper's Landing all the time. Did Booneville to Pilot Grove and about 8 miles further before turning around and that incline up to the 70 is interesting even unloaded. Nice on the way back though for the downhill.
Yea, that downhill on the way back was definitely the quickest section for me. It’s a great spot to be able to ride, if/when I make it back I’ll have to cut out and hit Columbia as well.
Bane, FYI Booneville has no "s" in it; sounds like you said Boonesville a few times. Otherwise, great video and I'm m going to do this sometime, this summer, with a lifelong buddy
I probably was saying Boonesville lol
I took notes for this trip, but I have a super hard time keeping track and remember/pronouncing names.
I think having a buddy who rides would really make a trip like this something!
The second part of this will be released tomorrow morning
Happy trail touring! Very Cool!🎉🎉
Thank you! I’m working on the second half of this trip now, it’ll be posted up next week.
Glad to see you on a real bike....not cheating with an ebike
Sooo Envious!! Rocheport @ 27:30 is one of my home towns.
The mosquitos was so bad I didn’t stick around the area very long! Was jt like that when you lived there?
@@TheBane1979 yes, always, but especially since the 1993 flood after which they abandoned many farms to become swampland.
Rochport to McBain is most scenic I think..
Excellent video, Bane, really nice.
Thanks! Where y’all at currently?
@@TheBane1979 We left the Flint Hills nature Trail yesterday, headed west on roads to pick up 76, the Trans Am route
@@DwyerGreen that’s awesome!
Are you riding RAGBRAI? We need to meet up and ride sometime. I'm from Cincinnati and you are hitting all the trails I ride and want to ride.
I just heard about it a few months ago. I might check it out, but I won’t be able to this year. I watch RUclips for ideas on where to go. There’s a lot of paved paths in the Cincinnati area, we could definitely cross paths at some point!
I’m pretty new to cycling, I just started last year. It’s been a lot of fun
@@TheBane1979 I just started cycling in August of last year. I've done the entire Ohio to Erie Trail. I have a GAP/C&O trip planned for September. I'm working on carving out a week for the Katy Trail. I ride the Little Miami Trail several times a week as it's local to me. What upcoming trips do you have planned? I'm loving your channel.
@@OurJourneyProject I plan on doing the C&O and GAP the last week of August. I’ve been wanting to hit the Nee River trail down in VA and I’d like to hit it first if I can. Nothing else really planned yet, just sort of winging it. I’d like to hit the Ohio to Erie again but I ain’t sure I’ll be able to this year.
Eventually I’m probably just gonna find places on the map to go bike. Just get dropped off somewhere and go. But there’s still plenty of trails to do for now, and not enough time.
I would love to go there. I'm in desert Colorado 😢
I’ve hiked In Colorado, but haven’t biked there. Colorado is one of my favorite places
@@TheBane1979 it's a beautiful beast LoL
Are there mosquitoes when you sleep out
@@joannenardoni17 depends on where you’re camping. I didn’t have any issues with them while camping, but there’s certainly areas I wouldn’t camp in (around the tunnel area)
I have a net over my hammock so they don’t generally get in
All flat
@@kevinbraden9445 yea, pretty much
