Looking into bike packing the Missouri River from the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi river, all the way to kaw point in kansas, via the katy trail and rock island spur.

Estimated 346 miles.

I have never bike packed before, looking to see if my trip planning is on point.

Considering cooler months, May, September, or October.

I plan on a 6 day, 5 night, roughly 60 miles a day trip. With stops at Klondike, mokane, Franklin katy roundhouse, Windsor- Farrington city park, and Chillhowee City Park.

I will be using my Giant bike 29″ tires that has an ebike conversion, towing a homemade Bob trailer. Camping with a tent, and will have a hammock and rainfay as backup/chair. Most of my planned campgrounds have accessible electricity for charging ebike/electronics.

How much and what type of clothing should I pack? Plan on doing laundry on the way?

How much water should I plan in carrying?

Any other suggestions?
