I was also never planning on biking this whole trail, but now I want to 😂 I didn't know about the shuttle bus, so that is a big reason why I'd like to bike the trail now. I live right next to the trail, so now all I need is a bike!

Congratulations! We did the Katy last year. This year we rode Buffalo, NY to Pittsburgh after watching your video (Erie to Pittsburgh), but somehow our Komoot route missed a majority of the trails you took and we had soooooooo many hills. 5,200 feet of elevation on the last day. Augh!

Thanks, it was a fantastic trail. It was so much fun! Could have done it twice ! No way, that's awesome. The hills are brutal can't even explain right .. . tuff, but rewarding stuff. Thanks for the kind words and comment. Maybe we will cross paths some time looking forward to it !

@ReimaginedAdventures 2 ай бұрын

We deffinalty have encountered some long raining rides. We have your basic rain coats. Inevitably, we get wet. We try not to plan longer travel days on rainy ones if possible. We have brooks b17 saddles. So far, so good lots of miles on them holding up well and decently comfortable for long rides. Took a little bit for break-in, but deffinalty a good one .

I'm loving your video! I have done RAGBRAI 4 times with a friend once and my husband three times. I'm wanting to take off and do this trail by myself. Do you thinks it's safe to ride it alone? Also, Can you tell me about your surly bikes? I'm currently riding a LIV gravel bike and I have a fuji road bike but want a surly to do exactly what you're doing.

@ReimaginedAdventures 2 ай бұрын

That's excellent and one heck of a ride !!! Deffintly do you own research there are beter areas then others to stay for the night. The capital area wasn't the most pleasant area, so we planned our miles to miss staying there all, and all was very peaceful and pretty safe. Our bikes !!! We love them they are so durable we are hard on them, and they just take a beating. They are very ridged for loading them up with weight. Defianlty great for touring. Not very fast, but feel very good for long rides !!
