Hope you decide to continue making videos. Really appreciate you laying out your plan at the beginning of video. I am planning on riding the Katy next Spring and this will help. Like you I want to go cheap and camp out. I am also taking my dog with me in a Burley COHO trailer, so finding dog friendly lodging is not always easy. Thanks again for sharing.
Curious about the AmTrak ride...how did that work out? Where did you board? Where did you get off?How far were you from the trail at each end of the ride? Thanks for sharing! I have had the Katy on my list for some time...just still trying to figure out the logistics of it. We have friends that attend a running camp out that way every couple of years, but hate to impose on them. Have looked at shuttles, but that really adds another day to the trip.
You can take the train to Lee Summit and catch the Rock Island trail in Pleasant Hill. It will take you down to Windsor and catch the KATY from there to Machens, MO, or from Windsor, ride down to Clinton and ride back to Windsor and go from there, if you want to ride the whole KATY.
My saddle is the default one from when I purchased my bike, upgrading it will be my next modification for sure, it’s not the best fit and was pretty uncomfortable. I had one of those memory foam covers over it though and I also wore a cheap pair of bike shorts from Amazon
Nice ride. Katy has some nice simple beauty to it.
Wife and I peddled from Lee's Summit to Machens, Mo. from October 5th to the 10th. Great ride. Good video

Awesome thanks 👍
Awesome video! Great job on finishing the Katy Trail!
Nice ride. I was planning a similar trip for the Spring. Where’d you sleep? I’d like to find free camping. Thanks

What kind of bike saddle did you use on your trip? Did you use bike shorts?
