  • 2027 Katy Tour, Misouri / Kansas / Texas
    Hits: 7
    Dates Description
    Sat 9/25 to Sat 10/2

    From Pam Tomczak:

    "Simply through word of mouth, what started out as a bucket list birthday gift to myself has blossomed into a gravel ride adventure for a small group of WABbits ... I thought I'd send out the details of this trip to all, in case anyone else might want to join us.  The Katy Trail is a 238-mile long rail trail in Missouri, and it's America's longest rail trail. This tour covers about 180 miles of the former Missouri- Kansas- Texas (MKT) Railroad Corridor from St. Charles to Augusta.  The tour operator is Road Scholar, a non-profit organization (founded as Elderhostel in 1975) focused on providing learning adventures for older adults. I, personally, have never travelled with Road Scholar, but I know people who have, and they all rave about their programs. I am so excited to be able to explore this trail in the company of my WAB friends!  The tour dates are Sept.25 - Oct. 2, 2027."

    For more information on the tour, check here: Katy Trail Missouri Bike Tour for Seniors

    If you are interested, feel free to register your name on our ride calendar at Katy tour so others can see who might be going.  This may generate additional interest among the WAB community.
