I'm riding the trail next week Clinton to St. Charles. I know the MODNR site notes repairs will be happening between mile markers 116 and 188. Does anyone have recent firsthand knowledge of trail conditions? Is the area being repaired still rideable?

I'll be on a hybrid, lightly loaded, with 700X37 tires (and hoping it doesn't rain too much next week).

Thanks.

We rode from Clinton to St. Charles last week on Thur - Sat. We had to stop and walk our bikes in 2 places.

A few miles west of Jefferson City there was a bad washout right in front of one of the houses along Hwy 94. Also, both sides of the bridge over the Auxvasse river west of Mokane were washed out pretty badly especially the east side.

Other than those 2 spots, there were a few minor rough spots here and there. Just keep your eyes open for them. I would imagine that many of them have been addressed by now.

Have fun.

After posting my comment I reread and realized it had an error. The Auxvasse river bridge is east of Mokane not west. Sorry about that.

And it's the west side of the bridge that you HAVE to get off and walk not the east. At least yesterday unless they repaired after I went thru.
