Need a suggestion on getting from Amtrak station in KC to Clinton. Is there a shuttle? Roads do not look bike friendly.

It can be done, but I (and many others) would not recommend it: Not safe for lots of reasons including traffic and crime (Southeast Kansas City, MO can be a BAD place). Think taxi/shuttle/etc. to Clinton, or just Amtrak it to Sedalia. Another option if you are In KC would be staying north of the Missouri River, and road biking it to Boonville.

Adding to what I just wrote, Booneville to Sedalia is my favorite part of the trail. Lots of people like the Rocheport to Jeff City part, including me, but I love the the whole Booneville to Clinton run, and esp. Booneville to Sedalia. If you've never done it, and think you would like riding in a "Tree tunnel", make sure you include that part of the trail, and take Amtrak to Sedalia and do an out and back to Clinton.

Clinton to Sedalia is not real scenic (and pretty mushy in the spring) little like Jeff City to McKittrick. You live around Clinton, Salsa?

I followed allot of side roads and ended up following 291 to Harrisonville. Then picked up 7 to Clinton. The trail is great and I been hanging around Huntsdale( great camp ground with showers) for a couple of days because of the rain. But do the whole trail it's a great experience.
