Fall Colors Trail Ride to Rocheport

COLUMBIA, MO (October 10, 2014) - GetAbout Columbia, in partnership with Columbia Parks and Recreation, is offering a free Fall Colors Trail Ride to Rocheport via the Katy Trail. The 26-mile (roundtrip) trail ride will be held at 10 a.m. on October 12, starting at the Scott Boulevard MKT Trailhead, 3662 S. Scott Blvd.


 Cyclists will travel along the Boone County portion of the MKT Trail which links to the cross-state Katy Trail – the nation’s longest developed rail trail.  Cyclists will ride along the most scenic section of the trail known for its fall colors, majestic buffs and striking views of the Missouri River.  After a short stop for lunch in Rocheport, cyclists will return along the same route.


 On-trail ride support will be available for minor maintenance needs. Participants should bring a spare inner-tube and water bottle. All riders are required to wear a helmet. To register for the ride, call 874-7460 or 874-7700. 

 

Drop in participants are welcome. Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.  Call the Recreation Hotline at 573-874-7663 ext. 7 for a possible weather-related cancellation.
