Event Description
Ride the Rivers is BACK and better than ever!
We're launching from a beautiful new home base: Spanish Lake Park, one of North St. Louis County's most historic and scenic parks. Two new routes take you along the rivers that define this region, with more real food at every rest stop. After your ride, enjoy a full celebratory lunch, ice-cold Perennial Artisan Ales, and Fitz's soda and root beer in the shade of the Spanish Lake pavilions. You earned it!
New Routes!
Century Ride: You'll cross the Mississippi on the historic Grafton Ferry, ride the Illinois River Road, and roll along the Riverfront Trail, experiencing both the Missouri and Mississippi rivers in a single epic day.
Metric Century: You’ll enjoy a great exploration of the Missouri River, weaving along its banks through some of the most scenic terrain in the region. Note: Due to construction near the Chain of Rocks Bridge, this year's metric route focuses exclusively on the Missouri River and does not include a ferry crossing. We're monitoring construction progress and will update routes if conditions allow.
