KATY 257



Tom and I completed our ride of the KATY trail from Clinton to St. Charles this morning. It is actually 225 miles but we took a few food detours. I would have to say the bike ride was more demanding than the MR340. Tom says the MR340 was more demanding but his team did it in about 20 some fewer hours than we did. Our photo was taken where the KATY goes over the Auxvasse Creek near its mouth.

first river trip of 2010




Kyle and I made our first run on the Missouri River Sunday. We covered 15 miles in about 2 hours and 20 minutes despite a strong wind out of the south. The river was up so the current was good. At one point we were moving at 11.3mph. We had the river to ourselves other than being buzzed by the Blue Angels.
