how hard is it to ride the fifteen miles to the amtrak station in Kirkwood from St. Charles? Or can you get somebody to take you down there pretty easy?

sorry, I see it goes into detail on the link.

Don't know if the link you refer to specifies, but about four miles west of St. Charles, there's a paved spur off the trail that crosses the Missouri River bridge (on a separated pedestrian trafficway) and connects to Creve Coeur Park, from which one can get on main St. Louis roads. I would recommend getting onto Olive Road (by taking Creve Coeur Bottom Road to Olive) because this is a main road with well-sized lanes, the western portion of which has a marked bike lane and lovely shoulders. From there, you can easily get to the station, either by riding or taking busing. Best of luck.
