Preparation-for the rider. The KATY is primarily a flat crushed limestone surface. On day two, there will be some slight (less than 2%) grades. While you don't need to be a star athlete to participate, you should be a reasonably fit and regular bicycle rider to complete the tour without discomfort. We encourage you to visit your doctor for a physical before participating. For clothing, we suggest standard padded cycling shorts and T-shirts or jerseys while riding. For September dates, consider bringing some cycling "tights" as there can be some cool mornings. A weatherproof light cycling jacket is also suggested for cool mornings or the occasional rainy day. Evening casual wear is acceptable for dinners. Helmets are required.
Preparation-for your bicycle. If you bring your own bicycle, it needs to be of a style andin condition for riding six days on an unpaved surface. There is no rugged terrain, so mountain bikes are not required. Hybrid or fitness-style bikes are best for use on the KATY trail bike tour. Please be SURE to have your bike checked by a bicycle shop before you start, have any worn parts like chains and especially TIRES replaced and bring a couple spare tubes to fit your tire size.
Rental bikes: Rather not bring your bike? "Fitness-style" bikes from Specialized or Cannondale suitable for use on the Katy are available to rent for $125/week. They include water bottle cages, cycling computer/odometer, handlebar bag for storage.
