Lawrence Group held its 3rd weekday training ride for the United by Design Bike MS team on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010. Three riders from Team Arcturis, a United by Design affiliate, joined us. We rode the St. Louis Riverfront Trail again but went past the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge into Illinois for a total of 28 miles round trip. It was a hot evening and the Mississippi River was a lot higher, flooding one portion of the trail. We didn't let that keep us from having a good time though! Below are a few pictures from the ride. Make sure to follow the United by Design blog for information on our next training rides. Looking forward to riding with you!

One of the creeks that feeds into the Mississippi River was swollen and flooded the trail below a rail bridge.

It took a little while but we all made it around the water. The only bad thing was we had to do it again on the way back.
I'm glad no one fell into the water. They would have been out of luck if they weren't up on their shots!
