Is anyone doing this ride out of Rockwoods Reservation that John sent out via email (below)?
"This ride is a doozy and very scenic while your suffering up the climbs. We'll be leaving from Rockwoods Reservation. Meet at 7:30 and leave at 8:00am. Just for kicks (don't know if I'll do this every time), here's a link to the route on GMap. If you click on the elevation (small/large) tag, you can see just what we'll be doing climb-wise. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=346734 Normally, this route goes up Melrose and down Allenton but, the road between Allenton and Eureka is closed and I don't know if it's ridable. That's why we're spending a mile or so on the shoulder of Hwy 109 to Alt. To get to Rockwoods Reservation: Take I-44 to Eureka Hwy 109 Exit., go North. About 3.9/4.0 miles will be Woods Rd. Take a left and then a right on Glencoe. About 1.7 (give or take) miles on the left, you'll see the Visitor's Center and parking. We'll leave from there. Don't know if the Visitor's Center will be open that early for restrooms or water. Please plan accordingly."

I'm all for a Saturday ride. I'd prefer to go a little longer than 40 miles. I'm also all up for some hill work. I think Mark posted by e-mail something about the Dr. Dan Loop. I would be up for that, maybe starting at Kaldi's.
Maybe we can do the Dr. Dan + plus route. Maybe we can do the Dr. Dan / Babler stuff, and throw in Reise road, and some other parts of West County? I don't know the specifics of how to link the parts of the ride, but I'm sure enough of us together can figure it out as we go. Should be a hell of a day!

Cheri,
I am thinking of riding from Kaldi's in the valley meeting about 7:30 and being on the road around 8:00. We can do the Dan Bauer Babler ride and even go into Babler for a hill or two.
Let me know what you think.
Mark
Mike,
I am thinking we can do part of Dan Bauer's route and part of Roark's route. I think we can figure something on the ride. Meet at Kaldi's 7:30 and be on the road at 8:00.
Mark
I'm in for this one. Will meet you at 7:30a at Kaldi's in the Valley.
I've got MapPoint if you want me to try to come up with a route. I just don't know all the good roads/hills.

I'll be at Kaldi's ready to roll by 7:50, or if I get there earlier I'll eat too. Ready to ROLL by 8:00. This is Saturday right?
Sunday we'll be doing the trailnet ride.
