MISSOURI RIVER TRAIL

Saturday was a complete waste after Friday's adventures...so today, I decided to pick my lazy ass up off the couch and enjoy the day as it was meant to be enjoyed. I rode my bike. A buddy of mine and I had heard very little, but enough to be intrigued about the MRT...so we decided to ride it. Let me tell you...flat out the best fucking kept secret in the STL region ever. We started the ride in what looked like the begining of a b rated horror flick and quickly turned into coolest trail ever with murals, great views, industrial cool crap everywhere, rest stops....with actual people working them...and with snacks and water. After all is said and done, we rode to and across the Chain Rocks Bridge making our overall journey just under 30 miles. We even saw a fellow FBC member cruising the trail...which I might add was one of the few friendly people we encountered...its not that the other people were dicks, they just weren't very friendly and took themselves way too seriously. But I can assure you, I will now be on the trail every Sunday at the very least.


One of a few pics taken along the way, just to give you an idea of how far we rode...we started downtown.

Now go ride your bike.
