How's the ride going west from Weldon Spring to St Charles?

I am planning a one day ride from either Treloar or Marthasville to St. Charles.Just wondering if the last part of the trail when travelling west remains rural all the way through to St. Charles or do you travel through and in some traffic at the end from Weldon Spring to St.Charles?

That ride is impossibly difficult! However if you ride EAST you will have a great time. There is road construction at an intersection with HWY 94 but the traffic is always on a different path than the KATY. You will enjoy most the section through Weldon Springs nature ares.

Thanks JIM B for commenting.
I made a mistake by saying "west from W.Spring to St. Charles."I should have said "East",and yes I plan to ride Easterly.
By the way,do you mean that it is difficult because of me biking that amount of miles in one day or that part of the trail is just difficult?

I think he meant that if you're riding West from Weldon Springs to get to St. Charles you've got a 24,000 mile ride in front of you. The 24,000 ride itself isn't that bad but the two ocean crossings are extreeeeeeemly difficult on a bike.

Just keep in mind that there are zero water opportunities between St. Charles and Defiance. It's a long, dry stretch. Make sure you have plenty of water before heading that long stretch through Greens Bottom/Weldon Springs.
