I had planned to ride this coming week Clinton to St. Charles M-F
The wind forecast has me a bit concerned. How sheltered or wide open is the trail generally?
Would southerly gusts be a significant problem?
I will be on a loaded to camp gravel bike. I really wanted to get the ride in before the time change and water shut offs 11/1.
Anyone ridden in Nov care to comment if I delay? Thank you.

From Clinton to Boonville a southerly wind will be more of a tailwind. If you look at the trail map you'll see why. From Boonville on it's pretty much a crosswind. The trail is sheltered for the most part but you will hit open sections. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
