Getting from Sedalia back to Hermann

My husband and I are riding from Hermann to Jeff City, then Jeff City to Rocheport, then Rocheport to Sedalia and had Amtrak tickets for the 5pm train back to Hermann where I have a house rented for 3 days. Amtrak just cancelled the 5pm train. Any suggestions for getting back to our truck in Hermann with 2 bikes? I don't want to stay the night in Sedalia.

Also, is the trail still closed west of Portland?

Just booked the shuttle with Todd. We're set.

Still curious about the trail closure at Portland and the detour.

Kristin, wish this forum allowed images. Take Schmid Way off the trail (gravel) to hwy 94. Go East 3/4 mile cross bridge and immediately turn left onto 476 (gravel I think) which crosses the Katy trail in about 25 yards. Look at these instructions with google maps and it will be obvious to you. Have a good trip!

I did this detour today. No issues, didn't even see any traffic on 94. I talked to a couple riders who dragged their bikes through the creek to go around the closure. Sounded like a pain and I don't mind riding on the road. Still curious why it's taking so long for the parks department to clear this up!
