Does anyone know a route from St Charles to the Amtrak station in Kirkwood Missouri?

This topic has been discussed here on this website. Here is the link http://www.bikekatytrail.com/kirkwood.asp

Just so you know, St.Louis is not exactly a bike friendly city.

Lococo House III, Bed & Breakfast offers shuttles to Kirkwood station, call 636-946-0619 for info. The route by bike isnt very safe

I found the ride to be very doable. The only time I felt it wasn't safe was Marine Road when leaving Creve Coeur Park. It's a long steep uphill without a spot to, even, stop, let alone pull over to the side. There's too great a drop off.

Fortunately, there's an alternative that you can see on the above link. I didn't know about it at the time -- wish I had.

There are times you will have to be on the road with traffic, but I didn't find it too bad, but some may not feel comfortable.
