I'm planning a trip on the Katy trail in MO next year and I'm looking for some advice.
It looks like it's always raining or snowing in MO. If I ride in spring, which month would have the least chance of rain without risking snow? How does early April sound?
I normally ride 90-100 miles a day on pavement when touring, but I've never done extended cycle touring on rail trails. I expect it will be more effort. What daily distance should I aim for on gravel? I'm thinking 60-70 miles a day.
I've watched a lot of YouTube videos on the subject but they're riding 30-40 miles a day which seems too short.
I attached my proposed itinerary. Any observations from someone who has done this would be greatly appreciated.
