Day 33, 25 June, Jefferson City to Klondike Park, St. Charles County

We almost all day riding on the KATY trail, a prominent rails to trail path. We crossed the Missouri River heading out of Jefferson City and followed a set of ramps and paths to KATY. KATY is a flat one-lane path of hard dirt covered with a thin layer of fine gravel that follows the River. Much of the path is bounded by trees on one or path sides. 

We camped at a county park and met four other riders who were travelling east to west. The camp had two great features - each picnic table had a shelter and the bathhouse had a kitchen.

We rode 88.98 miles at an average speed of 11.7 mph. My maximum speed,was 27.9 mph.

Some (all?) of the KATY is the path followed by Lewis and Clark
