Katy Trail, Missouri
Three-Day ride plan using Rocheport, Missouri as home base.
Using Rocheport, Missouri as our home base during the ride allowed us to make last-minute changes based on weather, wind direction and offered an easy way to start and end two days at the rental houses to minimize drive time.
