I take the Katy Trail along the Missouri River on which many cyclists are on the way, all the way into St. Louis. I am a little shocked how neglected some parts of the city are. In a park someone waits for me, which I already knew and invites me to his home and the next day a piece mitläuft. It goes over the Mississippi to Illinoise. I am with 50-60 kilometers per day further well in the plan.
