Is the Columbia Spur Trail hilly at all? I have a recumbent that probably belongs more on the street than a trail and I don't like the hills. IS the riding surface on the spur trail (chat) comparable to the Katy Trail?

The county and city MKT trails are in excellent condition. The only glitch is there are several small longitudal crevises in the trail between the Katy Trail connection and the top of the levee near the
sewage treatment plant. Some are large enough to catch a wheel but easily avoidable. The trails are not flatiron flat but there are
no appreciable grades except the little bump at the levee.

I have seen many recumbents on the MKT Trail. The closer you get to downtown Columbia the steeper the grade.

It does have somewhat of an incline into Columbia, but one thing to remember, it is a former rail bed as well, so you aren't going to face any serious hills. Compared to the Katy going west of Boonville to Sedalia, theres nothing to it. I would think it would be very do-able on a recumbent. The surface, I think, is identical to the big trail.
