Hi Wil - hope to be able to connect with you in MO and ride a bit on your journey...your dates and ours don't look good to intersect if you plan to be in Clinton at start of KATY trail on the 22nd, that would put you in to STL on the 25th and that's the date we would be leaving...just have fun and relax and enjoy the trip - what happens will be just fine! We biked this morning in light showers then plenty of humidity but not too much sunshine - whew!! Diana and Jim
