Back In The Saddle

Rae said the other morning while we were gearing up for a 40+ mi day, "I wonder how many people have to train and get in shape for their vacations." Funny.  While riding we talked about what it is that we like so much about bicycle touring and travel in general, and we both agreed that its the stories we have when we return.  Later this week we will be heading to Missouri to once again add some pages to that story book while bicycling 237 miles along the Katy Trail.   It was an old rail line that served Missouri, Kansas and Texas that was known as the MKT or the Katy. Restored train depots and rail cars will be along the way according to the guidebooks but its the small towns, inn keepers, wineries and getting back to life on the trail we are both looking forward to experiencing.  Really looking forward to getting back on the trail.
