Weekend Training Ride - 8/7/2011

If you can't make it this Saturday, join us this Sunday morning (8/7) for a 44 or 64 mile training ride starting and ending in Kirkwood, MO.

This week we meet at Kirkwood Park for a ride out to Babler Park via Clayton and back Conway. Below is a map for each proposed route. The 64 mile ride will also stop in Babler but will skip the St. Albans stop since no facilities are available. To beat the heat, this train starts at 7 AM SHARP!

Directions to Kirkwood Park as follows:

From US40/I-64 exit Lindbergh south. Lindbergh becomes Kirkwood Road at Manchester. Proceed south and turn right on West Adams to Kirkwood Park. Parking lot is ¼ mile west of Adams and Geyer, turn left at Playground Rd, veer left to large parking lot between the ballfields. Restroom and water available.


If you have any questions, please contact Chris Ludwig (CLudwig@stlouisco.com).


Looking forward to riding with you!

2011 Team Training Ride Kick-Off!

If you are like many of us, it has been either too hot or too rainy to ride your bike. With only 85 days left until the 2011 Bike MS: Express Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride, we decided now is a better time than any to begin our team training rides!

We are blowing the cobwebs out of our spokes this Saturday and meeting at The HUB bike shop in Webster Groves, MO, at 8:00AM. There are two distance options: 18 miles and a longer 30 mile loop. Please join us for our first team ride of the year and see what we're all about!
