I would like to spend some solo vacation time riding the Katy Trail this summer. Ideally, I would like to ride as far as time allows without having to factor in time to ride back to my starting point. I would appreciate feedback on any methods for arranging transportation back my starting point (probably Booneville). This could be an "established, for-fee service," or some other method cyclists have found to work well.
Thank you and happy cycling!

My dad and I just got back from riding between Jefferson City and St. Charles. Depending on how far you get, I can recommend the Katy Trail Shuttle Service out of St. Charles. David Lawson, who runs the business, came to our hotel, picked us up in a comfy minivan equipped with a rack, and dropped us back at our car in Jefferson City. Check the link to his website on the St. Charles list of businesses and services to get his number for a price quote.

Depending on location, many of the Katy Trail towns are near Amtrak stations, Jefferson City, Sedalia, etc. Go to weekly specials at, http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak/WeeklySpecials , and customize the section that you are doing. My last search gave me a price of $6.50 one way from Sedalia to Jefferson City. Can't beat that.

Also, Amtrak allows uncrated bicycles on this route for a $10 surcharge. There's an option when booking the ticket. Also, when you reserve on Amtrak *as little as a few hours in advance), the conductor aboard will have your ticket. No need to wait for mail or have a hard copy. You can also purchase a ticket when you board the train, which is almost never filled anywhere near capacity.
