Ride description:  The ride starts near Kansas City in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, and finishes in beautiful St. Charles, Missouri, near St. Louis.  Riders complete 47 miles on the Rock Island Trail, join up with the Katy Trail in Windsor, and then ride the Katy Trail from Windsor to St. Charles, for a total of 269 miles of riding on crushed limestone rail trails.  The trip consists of 6 nights of lodging and 7 days of riding, averaging 38 miles a day. Shuttle and daily breakfast is included. 

We specialize in personalization, so this ride can be modified to start in Raytown or Lee’s Summit, which adds a day of riding, or it can be shortened to be completed in 6 days. We can also build in rest days. If you would like to include Clinton, Missouri, the western terminus of the Katy Trail, so that you can complete the entirety of the KT as well, we can accommodate that.  Prices adjusted according to nights of lodging needed.

Lodging. Our tours feature a curated mix of boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts that cater to cyclists and showcase the hospitality of middle Missouri. We work closely with local proprietors and choose only accommodations we’d enjoy staying in ourselves. In select locations, we may use a high-quality hotel to provide the best overall routing and comfort. All lodging is selected with comfort, cleanliness, and cyclist-friendly amenities in mind. Breakfast is included each morning.
