will my 10 speed thin tire bike be ok to ride on the trail surface?

The trail between St. Charles and Augusta, MO I am familiar with. It is a crushed rock trail. You certainly can ride with thinner tires, I'd make sure that they are new and properly inflated. There are also several points along the way to stop and get help if needed.

You will be fine with that bike of yours my dad and i rode the trail over the summer on our touring bikes and every now and then there are some bumps by i only had one flat tire the whole entire trail and luckily is when we were being rushed for time. But the trail is very nice and we rode it during a huge storm and there were branches all over the trail but the next day it was all cleaned up wich was very nice so that tells you right there they take of the trail very well so everyone can ride and enjoy the great trail.

Make certain your tires are kevlar-belted with a width of at least 25mm but 28mm or wider would be recommended.
