Join us as we help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Our host hotel, The Inn at the Park , is located adjacent to Forest Park, site of the World’s Fair.
On Friday after picking up your packet, jump on your bike and take a tour of Forest Park on the bike path running around and through the park or just take a leisurely walk to the “Central West End” of Saint Louis. Home to many restaurants and shops. Or just simply enjoy some ice cream , renew old friendships and make new ones in our hospitality room.
Saturday our ride will begin with a mass start at 9am. We will ride to downtown Saint Louis, home of the Arch. There we will pick up the riverfront trail and ride to the historic Chain of Rocks Bridge, cross the mighty Mississippi and we will soon be in the flat country of Illinois. There will be three route options available. Lunch will be in Edwardsville, IL and the ride will loop off from there eventually returning to cross the Mississippi and back to our host hotel. After the ride if you wish take a short ride on the Metrolink to Historic Union Station, the main railroad terminal in bygone days now restored and converted into shops, restaurants, and a hotel, the Arch or one of our casino’s if you care to try your luck. If you care to explore the many sites in Forest Park the hotel is offering a free shuttle service to the many locations of interest in the park. Saturday evening we will have our banquet with attendance prizes and some special surprises.
Sunday we head west over city streets for a short ride before returning to the hotel to say our goodbyes until the next ride. At late checkout at the hotel has been arranged for us on Sunday to allow us to get our ride in and still shower before driving home.
