If you are considering bikepacking the Katy Trail, you'll want to listen to this episode. We'll talk about Jerry's top 5 "Watering Holes" along the Katy Trail. These are joints to get food and beverage that you should consider on your bikepacking trip. We also talk about riding the full Katy Trail from East to West and things to consider if you are considering going that direction on your ride.

In this episode we talk The Katy Trail. An extended ride from West to East of the full Katy Trail that we organized to do with a few friends. We talk about the places we camped along the way, the eating locations, and the local joints that are places to stop. Everyone should at least try to ride the nations longest single rail trail.

This is a recent ride for Jerry and we review a bit about cycling around the South Dakota Bad Lands as well as a 3 day trip on the George S. Mickelson Trail. If you aren't familiar with the Mickelson, this is a 108.8 mile rail trail that runs from Deadwood, SD to Edgemont, SD from North to South in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. Don't sleep on this trail folks, it is a beauty.

A 3 day organized ride, the Kentucky Bourbon Country Burn is a yearly event in the Lexington, KY area that offers amazing routes, stunning horse country views, and endless supplies of bourbon to sample and purchase. Don't overlook this ride for a location that offers an amazing area to check out. https://www.bourboncountryburn.com/
