Who wants to ride on Sunday morning from Kaldi's in Chesterfield valley. We can do the Babler Ride. Let's plan on leaving Kaldi's by 9:00. Don't forget it is Daylight Savings Time so 9:00 will be an hour earlier this Sunday. Be there for breakfast around 8:00.

Saturdays Ride April 1st
Folks,
You know I am doing my MS 150 first team training ride this Saturday April 1st. My thoughts are, if any of you are interested to ride to the starting point from my house. The starting point is the Lewis & Clark center at the confluence. Its about 23 miles from my house to the confluence. This makes for a relatively flat 66 mile ride. I need to be to the start about 9:30, so we would need to leave my house at 7:30. If your interested in riding with me, let me know.
We have space reserved at My Just Desserts for lunch.
Good news for those of you who liked last years jersey. I am working with the graphic artist again. Our theme is cycling along the Mississippi. We have already received commitment for slots, from sponsors for a subsidy of $40 per jersey, up to a maximum of 35 jerseys. Two slots are still open.

April 1st DRS Team Training Ride
April 1st DRS Team Training Ride
Once again I will be leading the company sponsored team, I am a glutten for punishment. DRS did up their donation. I have planned the first of the season team training ride on Saturday April 1st. I have copied below information from the email I sent out to my team.
Everyone is welcome to join us. If your interested in longer miles, there is the possibility of starting from my house at 7:30 am and riding out to the Confluence to meet the group. Afterward we all ride back to my house. Since I plan to bring Joseph and a friend, I have to first make sure they get a ride to the start point, before I can ride from my house.
The ride is meant to be kid and spouse friendly. We currently have about fifteen showing interest

From the email:
The ride will be approximately 20 miles round trip. The terrain will be mostly flat, traveling the levee tops along the bike trail from the Missouri & Mississippi Confluence to Alton and Back. We will have lunch at “My Just Deserts” in Alton; plan on some great pie. This will be an easy ride to help get everyone back onto their bikes.
Please RSVP as soon as you can, so I can reserve enough space at “My Just Deserts” for our group. You’re welcome to invite friends, whether or not the friend is considering the MS 150.
We will be starting at 10 am from the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center near Hartford, Illinois show on the map below. You can plan to visit the museum before or after the ride. We will meet in the parking lot. The map below shows the location of our start at the intersection of New Poag Rd and Highway 3. If you want more information about the museum

The new Confluence Tower might be open, plan to visit.

Ride For Saturday May 11th
Looking ahead to this Saturday, if it doesn't rain, the weather looks to be excellent, no tights!
So here is my thought, a city ride with some hills thrown in! We will loop through Clayton, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, The Hill, Soulard, Riverfront, Downtown, and Forest Park. Tentative start time 10 am from my house.
Some of the hills to keep building on last week include:
The climb from N Ballas up West Adams into Kirkwood.
We will tour the Hill to climb a Hill
Lastly don't forget that lovely short climb up Washington Ave from the Riverfront
