Shelley, Steve, Angela, Mike and I starting off ar 9am on a chilly but sunny morning from the Westbridge Inn in Clinton, MO. We rode steadily through clear skies, a brisk wind (mostly a crosswind, yea that) about 40 miles to Sedalia. Our first day of 5 on the Katy Trial. 
A classic Katy view through the tunnel of trees on a path of crushed granite covered in leaves (and sticks, snakes, turtles (two today) and giant walnuts). Got to be careful as you glide along the trail.
Meet Sebastian and his riding buddy, Juanita, as he and several friends ride west on the Katy. Apparently his lucky day, he found “Juanita” along the trail and she seems to fit handily on his handle bars. I hope picking up women against their will doesn’t become a bad habit for Sebastian. 
Shelley and Mike in Windsor, close to our halfway point for the day.
Casey’s are our go-to for rest and refreshment. Mike just wanted to warm up in the sun!
Angela celebrates the highpoint of our day, and the trail, the Katy Highpoint, 955’ above sea level. 
Mike tinkles the keys at the end of our cycling day in the Cradle of Ragtime, and Scott Joplin, Sedalia, MO. We check-in at the historical Hotel Bothwell around 2pm then head to Fitters, just across the town square, for beer hydration therapy and food.
