- Take a bicycle ride on the Katy Trail. The Katy Trail State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Missouri that contains the Katy Trail, the country's longest recreational rail trail. It runs 240 miles, largely along the northern bank of the Missouri River, in the right-of-way of the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad.
I'm planning to ride Katy Trail myself solo too. Interesting tradition that people ring the bell when starting or finishing trail. 👍
It’s a great ride. I enjoyed the trail and scenery. The weather was great too, maybe got a little warm but all good overall. The bell was there, so I rang it😁 Cheers and happy adventures, friend! I always enjoy your videos! Keep on!👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your fun-to-watch video. 🙂
It was an awesome ride - thanks for watching! Cheers😎👊🏼🚲
Great video! We enjoyed chatting with you today on the Tunnel Hill Trail. Hope the rest of your ride went well.
Thanks a bunch for watching and saying hello! We enjoyed chatting with you as well! Tunnel Hill Trail was a great ride- lots of nature and wildlife- the video is coming soon! Look forward to checking out your son’s channel more. It’s awesome! All the best and happy adventures. 😎✌🏼🚲
Amazing video! Can't believe it only has 40 likes so far, beautifully shot and edited, I usually like a little narration but this worked very well. I keep wondering how bad the heat/humidity will be... Thanks for taking the time to make such a great video.
Thank you so much for the awesome comment! Glad you liked it ! It was a great ride, an excellent trail -and the humidity and heat was not so bad during the early summer months. I hope you get out there and enjoy the ride! Cheers!😎👊🏼🚲
Very nice! What drone are you using?
Thank you! 😎🙏🏼 I was using the DJI Air2S. I’ve really enjoyed flying it. It’s a fun way to capture an adventure.
Another great adventure❤️🙌🏻🚴♂️😘
Another epic ride for sure!😎🙌🏼🚲❤️
Excellent video! Well done ! Great music as well . Makes me want to saddle up and head down the trail.
Awesome, thanks for the love! Get ready and saddle up, you’re gonna join me next time! 😊💪🏼🚲

Oooh im interested looking to do a fun out of state trail before fall
This is a fantastic trail- a Fall ride would be awesome as well. I hope you get to ride it! Cheers!😎✌🏼
Great Drone shots. How did you keep it out of the trees?
Thanks a bunch for the positive comment! The drone is so cool - it can active track a moving object while avoiding the trees. Technology these days is incredible! Cheers😎👍🏼

Can you share your itinerary for this trip? I have plans to do the same trek in October after 5 tours on various sections since 2012.

@@Iliketoadventure Thanks - Curius where you stayed in Pilot Grove - we stayed there in June with Jerry at the Katy Junction. I am going to try to do this route in 3 days in October - My first day will also be Clinton to Pilot Grove. Who were the bike shuttle services you used in St. Charles? the far east part of the trail is where I am least familiar. By the way - I am from Southern Illinois (Wayne County - East of Mt. Vernon)
@@eldonsmith7807 Sounds awesome about your ride in October! I also stayed at Jerry's Katy Junction B&B. He was a great host.The bike shuttle I used in St. Charles was from the Bike Stop Cafe. Delicious food and friendly, great shuttle service. They drove me to the Amtrak station in Washington. Have you ever rode the Tunnel Hill State Trail through Shawnee National Park? It's a lovely trail, beautiful ride!
Cheers.🙂
@@Iliketoadventure I have not been through Tunnel Hill State Trail - I looked it up and I know the area - I went to school at SIU- Carbondale. I wonder if it existed back then - long time ago (late 1980's. I would like to check that out someday. What town are you from in Illinois?
I am also curious about your video - I assume you used a drone?
Who is flying the drone? Homing drone? Don't know much about drone videos.
Good question! I’m flying it while riding!😁 At times, I also activate the auto tracking and it follows me without having to control it. Drone technology is amazing these days! I’m still learning as I go but it’s a great way to capture the beauty of an adventure. I was using the DJI Air2S. It worked amazingly-was quite impressed with it! Are you looking into drones? Doing any adventures? Cheers!👍🏼
Nice video, I did the Katy trail solo a couple years ago and will do it again. How many days did it take you? Where did you stay the night along the way? Did you camp or lodge it?
Cheers, thanks for watching and adding a positive comment. That’s great you also got to enjoy a solo ride along the Katy! I did the trip in 4 days. I went the lodging route on this trip- A b&b in Pilot Grove, hotel in Jefferson City, a bike bunkhouse in Marthasville, and a hotel in St.Charles. It was awesome. How about your trip? No camping this trip but still a fabulous adventure! Any rides planned in your future? All the best 😎🤙🏼🚲
You’re not afraid to put the drone in the air! Nice video.
Haha not at all! I like to push the drone to its limit and try to capture some interesting shots. Thanks for the positive comment!😎🙏🏼
