I don't want to confuse you, we did not ride the Katy trail my parents did. We were their backup van crew (good thing we purchased a mini van so we could actually call ourselves that). We did all the sight-seeing and my parents did all the hard muscle work. We Enjoyed several sights and stayed the night in: St. Charles, Hermann, Hartsburg, Sedalia, Calhoun, Rochefort, and Columbia. These were all new places for us even though we are from Missouri.
Hopefully we didn't hamper the bike tour schedule too much, but I think they enjoyed the grandkid/kid time. And we did come to their rescue when bike troubles won out.
Here are some highlights:
