Hermann, MO Oktoberfest Ride (#3 – Overnighter Adventure)
📍 Starting on the Katy Trail
🗓️ Departs Saturday, October 11 at 11:00 AM
🎯 Returns Sunday between 4:00–5:00 PM
🚲 ~100 miles round-trip on the Katy Trail

This is it—the big one. Our first overnighter. This two-day bikepacking trip takes us on a scenic out-and-back ride along the Katy Trail to Hermann, Missouri—just in time for Oktoberfest celebrations on Saturday night!

We’ll be fully loaded for the weekend: food, water, sleeping gear, cookware, the works. If you’ve been itching to try a real bikepacking setup, this is your moment. We’ll provide a full prep list and host a gear night before the ride to walk through everything together.

What to bring:
✔️ Helmet (required!)
✔️ Lights (recommended—especially for early mornings or late evenings)
✔️ Plenty of water
✔️ Bike bags or racks to carry your gear
✔️ Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad
✔️ Cookware + food for two days (or team up and share gear!)
✔️ The spirit of adventure

Highlights include:
🌾 Scenic miles on one of the best sections of the Katy Trail
🍺 Hermann Oktoberfest (Saturday night fun as a group!)
🔥 Camp setup and overnight under the stars
🚴‍♀️ 100 miles of bikepacking with new friends

We’ll leave around 11:00 AM on Saturday, cruise into Hermann in the afternoon, enjoy the evening together, and pedal back Sunday, aiming to wrap up by 5:00 PM.
