KATY Trail Wrapup

 Whenever I am West of the Mississippi, I buy all the Moose Drool before I return home. Moose Drool is my favorite beer. It's brewed by the Big Sky Brewing Co. of Missoula Montana. You can't get Moose Drool anywhere Moosehead beer is available because Moosehead sued them over the name, which means no Moose Drool in the Eastern US.

My quest for Moose Drool in St. Louis failed. I learned no distributor carries it anymore. 

But I did get my daily bike ride in while waiting for the beer store to open. It was supposed to rain all day, and I did my ride in a dry window.

I went down by the Anheuser-Busch plant. It's huge.


It's near the river, and there are a lot of railroad tracks down there. I slipped on a bit of wet rail, and wrecked my bike. I got some road rash on my elbow and I bruised my hip. 

Here are some statistics on the ride from Kansas City to St. Louis:

  • 8 days of riding
  • 360 miles
  • 2500 feet of climb
Jim and I both think the KATY trail is one of the nicest rides we've ever done. We are now spoiled.

I had no issues with the bike whatsoever. I didn't even have to put air in the tires.

Here's the Strava track for the quick ride around St. Louis:
