Planning on biking the trail in mid July. We are starting near Sedalia and biking to St.
Charles or Machens. Not sure how long it will take us to complete, Wondering if it is possible to get on the Amtrak back to Sedalia without a reservation or should we reserve a head of time.

Reservation are required with an extra fee per bike. They only allow 4 bikes per train.

Please be aware that the Missouri River basin is flooding... we are coming down next weekend (June 17) to try to beat the waters, which are now hitting us in the Iowa/Missouri area. Boonville, I think, is five days behind us on the flood, and I hope to beat the river for a Thursday/Friday ride. I will write back next Monday about the western river area, Boonville to Huntsdale. Our Steamboat Trace up here in Nebraska is shut down. The water is projected to stay for through the end of August at least. If the river shuts out the trail in MO, we will ride south from Boonville to Clinton, and I will post the shuttle prices. But, anyway, we were going to ride from Sedalia to Hermann and take the Amtrak train back, with advice to reserve with the bike (but the water up here is scary crazy so we know it is going down there). Just google and call Amtrak to make sure about the bike space, and check here for flood updates.

Instead of starting in Sedalia and returning via Amtrak could you take the train first then ride back to Sedalia? Because of the uncertainty of how long it will take you to ride, you have more control of when you're departing than finishing, then you don't have to worry about getting to Sedalia at a certain time to catch the train or taking a chance that there won't be space on it for your bike.

We rode from Sedalia to Hermann this week (6/8 to 6/10) and rode the amtrak back to Sedalia on 6/11. We had 4 bikes with reservations. They allowed another biker to board the train in Hermann without reservations including this bike, so I think it is possible, but I would recommend reservations.
