I have rode the trail a number of times and the trail surface varies greatly depending on where you are. From the Katy Trail to the big rock pile landfill is mostly crushed rock like the Katy Trail. Sections north of there tend to have a rougher surface. I would suggest a fat tire bike like a mountain or hybrid bike. There is one steep hill along the route.

There is no way we can have the project done by Nov 3-4. I have asked for help on the freelist, but got no help. If I have anything to say about it, it will take place on a Sat. We have several coordinates on paper for the whole trail where we will place caches, but it takes time. So far only Mike and me have placed anything.

The group can be large or small. Has anyone road the trail before? Is this trail a crushed rock trail like the Katy? Where is the best place to park? Just some questions I thought of. I am thinking that either the weekend of November 3-4 or Monday November 12. This is just an idea to see if anyone would like to gather for a bike ride.
