St. Louis Question
Short version: How do I get from Northwest Plaza shopping center across the
Missouri River (Page bridge or 370 bridge) by bike? Longer version: I'm dropping off a car in St. Louis County, near Fee Fee Rd, Old St. Charles Rd. and Lindbergh Blvd.(just west of Northwest Plaza shopping center). In case it helps, here's the location in Google Maps. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...9182&z=15&om=1 I'm then going on a bike tour ending in Quincy, IL. Once I get across either Missouri bridge (Page or 370) I'm OK and can make my way to the Golden Eagle Ferry over the Mississippi (it's a 2-person tour, and the most efficient route isn't required), but I'm not sure what would be a good route to get to these bridges from there. Any help? Is there a bike map that covers this area? -- Mike Kruger |

Any help? Is there a bike map that covers this area? -- Mike Kruger The St. Louis Bike Fed has a forum for questions like this. I have ridden a couple of times in the area. I know someone who used to ride on I370 from St. Charles into St. Louis a lot, so it is possible, but this was before the Page Ave Bridge was built. For just a few more miles, you can catch the Katy trail North of I370 and take the Katy Trail with extremely few crossings down to Page Ave, which is very new and wide shoulders to get you towards the airport. As far as the route from Quincy, the Mississippi River trail is a on- road bicycle route on both sides of the river with suggested crossing points. Signs are up from Hannibal to St. Louis. http://www.mississippirivertrail.org/ |
