The final part in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! After sitting with it a few weeks since my return, I have thoughts on everything about the ride... the heat, the rain, the trail surface, and much more. Where does the Katy Trail stand up to other tour routes in the US? I have some thoughts on that!

Chapter 6 in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! My final day riding on tour is always a little hard to accept. I usually feel like I just started, and sometimes that's not far from the truth. On my final day crossing the state of Missouri by bike, my appreciation for the Katy Trail cemented itself... especially after leaving it behind.

Chapter 5 in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! On this edition... weather apps prove to be a bit unreliable as I head out of Hermann, leading to a mad dash, a scramble, and eventually... beer. The penultimate day of riding had it all.

Chapter 4 in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! On this edition… I get a nice surprise in camp that has me reflecting on gratitude in bike touring, a wet but not disruptive day, and I look for some oom pah pah at Maifest in Hermann!

Annalisa van den Burgh returns with her touring partner Erik Douds to chat about the new iteration of their Miles of Portraits project as they tackle 1000 miles touring Alaska. We talk about their plans, dealing with bears, touring with Type 1 Diabetes and much more.

Chapter 3 in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! Sometimes a good night's rest is all you need. That and an overpriced, but gratefully available, lightning cable and some dry shorts can reset things from a less-than-optimal day to one that makes your tour. Plus, I got to do a meetup and enjoy some beer for the first time in Jeff City... They say the third time's the charm. Sometimes the third day is.

Ella Embree is a born and bred Alaskan with a big sense of adventure. Recently Ella was inspired by Lael Wilcox to tackle a new adventure - bicycle touring 1000 miles around her home state, some on a tandem. On this episode, we chat on the eve of the first leg!

Windsor, MO to Pilot Grove, MO on day 2 was... a bit of a challenge. In three distinct parts. See how I handled it in chapter 2 of Pedalshift Tour Journals, Katy Trail.

Chapter 1 in a series of podcasts on my Katy Trail adventure! Day 1s can be a mixed bag... and this one was no different.

Originally podcast in episode 008 of The Pedalshift Project, this is the story I like to tell people when they ask me why I'm into bike touring. It's called The Sweater. See you next week with a new pod!
