Last May I took a five-day bike trip with a couple buddies across the state of Missouri on the Katy Trail, a 240-mile former rail-to-trail conversion, the longest in the United States.
Today we're posting the account of the fifth and final day of the trip, which included famous scrambled egg sandwiches, a pair of men who may or may not have been twins and the realization that it is in fact possible to have too much orange Gatorade. These come from a journal I kept to document the details of the trip. It was fun and generally uneventful, but like most adventures of any sort had its crazy moments.
Here's hoping you enjoy it and maybe find some inspiration in it for your own trip.
