We are planning to take Amtrak to Jefferson City and ride back to St. Charles. Does anyone know if the bridge to the trail is safe to cross on a bike or should we seek some sort of shuttle service.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

We biked the trail several years ago, and you do need a shuttle to go across the bridge. We
did not go into Jeff City; stopped at that point. We started in Booneville and rode west to
Sedailia one day, and east to Rocheport the next. Then drove to Hartsburg and went west one
day, and east the next to Jeff City. After 4 days on that bike, I put my foot down! So that
Friday, we toured Hermann sans bikes! Have Fun! take sun screen, bug spray and extra tire
tubes!

I was there a couple of months ago and there is a bike lane on the
bridge but it is very narrow and scary. I very badly wanted to go to
Jefferson City but declined to go across the bridge. I would suggest a
shuttle somehow unless you are much braver than me.
