Riding Saturday and Sunday
Who is up for riding this weekend. I need to take advantage of both days. I'm thinking a city ride for Saturday. We could ride to Olivette and pick Roark up or you could meet at Roark's house and then into the city. I have a groupon I need to use at SweetArt. I'll plan to leave my house around 7:00 and arrive in Olivette around 8:00.
Sunday, we can start at my house and ride west to Babler State Park and then out to St. Albans and 6 Flags. If we start from my house on Sunday I will have coffee and bagels. I just need to know who is showing up. You start showing up around 7:00 and we'll ride at 8:00.

Sunday July 3rd Ride
Anyone have some thoughts on riding early tommorow morning if there is no rain. The train could leave my house say 7 am. Out to either New Town, or into the Old Town of St. Louis itself.

Saturday Alternative....or I am not Insane Ride
Folks,
I assume most of you are insane and will be attempting (and failing) to ride the Grand Fondo
Roark
I assume most of you are insane and will be attempting (and failing) to ride the Grand Fondo
The Mondo Fondo- 132 miles, snaking from Augusta, Missouri to Hermann, Missouri and back. With 11,000 feet of climbing the grapes won't be the only thing whining.So for those like me, both cheap and sane. I will be riding from my house about 9:00 am. To celebrate sanity the ride will head out to St. Charles and New Town. We will ride about 50-60 miles, and dine on Groupons at the 2nd Street Bike Shop and Cafe.

Old Kentucky Home Tour where Roark Will be instead of MS150!
Folks,
Last year I road the Old Kentucky Home Toeur (OKHT) with the Bradys. All I can say is a great ride, and thats with Mike and myself bailiing and only doing the 72 mile route. So this year I plan to go back and enjoy the Boubon infused caramels again. If your interested let me know and I will try to get enough hotel space at a reasonable space for the group. The ride description follows.
Roark
The 34th Annual Old Kentucky Home Bicycle Tour, (aka OKHT), is a two-day ride departing from E.P."Tom" Sawyer Park in Louisville,Ky. on Saturday, September 10th, with 3mileage routes to historic Bardstown, Ky.
A 50-mile, 72-mile, and a very challenging 102-mile century, which includes the legendary Pottershop Hill ! It is the winner of the League of American Bicyclists Best Century award.
On Sunday, September 11th, there are two routes from Louisville. The 25 mile short route goes out to the Fern Creek Fire Station and back to Sawyer Park. The 50-mile, single-day loop goes out to our FAMOUS " Homemade Cookie Stop" sag stop and joins up with the 2-day riders coming back from Bardstown for the return ride back to Sawyer Park via a gorgeous scenic route.

Saturday Ride
Folks,
Its weekend ride planning time again. So here is my Saturday plan. I plan to leave my house at 8:30 am. I will be riding down town, then up the riverfront trail (over the McKinnley Bridge), next back via Chamber's Road. So it is flat till the end, then some big rollers for fun when your legs are tired. Figure 40-50 miles of joy. Mike I can swing by your house a bit after 9:00 am, you can ride till you feel like turning around to head back home.
Sunday I am up for some hills. So unless someone has another plan, its more of the fabulous hills of Kirkwood. Once again departing my house at 8:30 am. This one will be about 40-50 miles also but your legs will think more.
