The Pedalshift Project 125: Katy Trail, Chapter 6

Chapter 6 in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! My final day riding on tour is always a little hard to accept. I usually feel like I just started, and sometimes that’s not far from the truth. On my final day crossing the state of Missouri by bike, my appreciation for the Katy Trail cemented itself… especially after leaving it behind.

Tour Journals Volume 10: Katy Trail, Chapter 6

This chapter covers day five of my Katy Trail adventure across Missouri. It started in Hermann, MO and continues to Augusta, MO. If you missed the other chapters, they’re at Pedalshift Projects 118, 119, 121 and 123, and 124!

My final day riding on tour is always a little hard to accept. I usually feel like I just started, and sometimes that’s not far from the truth. On my final day crossing the state of Missouri by bike, my appreciation for the Katy Trail cemented itself… especially after leaving it behind.

A little housekeeping… we’re back on weekly releases, and next week’s show will be a coda… an epilogue if you will, covering all of my takeaways from a really fun adventure on the Katy.
 
ALSO… I hope you’ve had a chance to watch the videos from the ride! If not, go check them out in the show notes or over on YouTube. I’m getting the hang of the style I want to adopt for these, so if you like what you’re watching, make sure to subscribe and like over on YouTube. More to come for sure!
