Grand Council Excursions

The following excursions are available during the 76th Grand Council in St. Charles this summer.

Katy Trail Bicycle Excursion - July 30, 2025

Join Executive Director Kenny Walkup and Gamma Pi Alumni Jake Northrup for a ride on the Katy Trail. We will depart on Wednesday, July 30 at 2pm from Bike Stop Cafe in St Charles and bike 20 miles to the town of Defiance, MO. There we will enjoy on-your-own drinks and snacks at Good News Brewing. After some Brotherhood bonding in Defiance, we will ride the 20 miles back to St. Charles.

Rent a bike or bring your own. You MUST be able to ride a bike 20 miles EACH way. (E-bikes are a great option if you cannot ride 40 miles.) We will ride at a comfortable pace for everyone, but there is NOT an option to drop and get a ride back to St Charles.

Bicycle rental rates are as follows:
Standard Bike - $75
Gravel Bike - $85
E-bike - $110 (this is a pedal assist bike)

The bicycle rental fee is the only cost for the event (unless you buy food/drink at the brewery). If you are interested in the bicycle excursion, please register by June 15 (the early bird deadline). We must reserve the bicycle rentals by then. Contact Kenny with any questions.
