St. Louis Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

St. Louis rides the wooded hills and river bluffs west of the city: Castlewood State Park's flowing singletrack above the Meramec River, Greensfelder's rocky technical loops, Lost Valley's long cruiser in the Weldon Spring country, and Klondike's quarry-country trails near the Katy corridor. These are volunteer-maintained clay trails that close when wet and reward patience — the drying countdown is the local ritual.
