Even though the riders do not have to ride together on the trail, we do start at the same time and we try to meet everyone at each SAG stop.  To maintain this level of service and due to the number of ebikes on the tours, we recommend if you ride a manual bike less than 12 MPH on hard surfaces or 10 MPH on gravel, you should consider using an ebike on this tour.  This will ensure you are keeping pace with the SAG stops before they need to locate to the next stop for the day.

We start our tours in St. Charles, MO where we pick you up at 7am and shuttle you to Clinton. If you are driving from the West then you might want to start in Clinton, MO. Park your car in Clinton and ride the trail. Then spend the night in St. Charles the last day of your tour before being shuttled back to Clinton at 8:00am the following Day

Our shuttle picks up at 7:00am in St. Charles our guided tours. We pick up in the large city lot behind Country Inn and Suites, 1190 S. Main St., St. Charles. Park near the white gazebo because that is where we will have the shuttle van and trailer in the morning. The St. Louis airport (STL) is a 10-minute Uber ride from Country Inn in St. Charles and the pick-up point.

This tour is great for single riders.  We have from 14-24 guests on the tour and we all become friends very quickly.  The Crossroads' Team provides a friendly environment where you can ride and we will take care of all the details.

The Katy trail is all crushed limestone surface from end to end. Built on abandoned rail beds this surface is compact but if heavy rains, can be soft. We recommend 32MM width tires or wider.
