2 Bicycles, 4 States, 6 Days, 267 Miles

My cousin Steve and I planned to ride the Katy Trail in Missouri last week. However, Hurricane Ike has other plans. Planned to leave out Tuesday morning, but late Monday we learned that much of the Katy was flooded! So we found another route.

From home, we headed north, then west. Our adventure took us as far west as Grove, Oklahoma, and north to Pittsburg, Kansas, before heading back home.

I have an online tavelogue, with lots of photos, if you want to check it out:
