Cycling the Katy TrailCycling the Katy Trail

The definitive guide to a crown jewel in the American rail-trail system, sharing the trail from the perspective of the touring cyclist. A thorough trail guide and description for the cyclist who plans to ride the Katy Trail (a recreational rail trail that runs 240 miles (390 km) in the right-of-way of the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad), plus a journey story that magnifies the ride along the trail into a delightful tale of discovery that everyone will enjoy. Neil's fans will delight in his award-winning storytelling style as he and Christine meander along the trail on their tandem bicycle, exploring the quiet beauty of the Missouri backwoods and the remote serenity of a trail that runs along a river that helped to shape American history, wrestling with some difficult questions about the divide that seems to be growing between rural towns in the middle of America and the rest of the nation.
