Mogman Ride Routes

#1 Chesterfield Loop 1 (20.72 miles)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/605877530856
Mostly Flat
Just a simple out and back on Chesterfield Levee that I ride on weekday evenings.

#2 Chesterfield Loop 2 (30.62 miles)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/568137176305
First half flat; second half hills
A good route but has some hills in second half; one good hill up Wildhorse, one super downhill on Old Eatherton and then one killer hill going up Orville just after the intersection of Orville and Eatherton. Once on top of ridge on Orville, very nice riding with rollers that allow you to keep on rolling without much effort if you keep your momentum going. Then an awesome long downhill on Orville just before you turn right on Shepard Road.

#3 Chesterfield Loop 3 (27.55 mi.)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/379485656623
Mapped but have not ridden that one just yet.

#4 Chesterfield Loop 4 (28.87 miles)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/852225774270
Mostly flat first half; hills, rolling hills last half
Pretty much the same as Chesterfield Loop 3 really.

#5 Chesterfield Loop 5 (33.12 miles)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/767934865564
mostly flat but one challenge hill to/from Creve Couer; Chesterfiled Valley flats
Good ride and mostly flat except for hill on River Bend Rd. which is a kicker. If you ride this route, do it early as possible as Olive Blvd is not super friendly and doesn't have much bike lane in some small sections (watch out for RTA bus as they are silent coming from behind and they typically don't move over and after the initial wind blast, you get that great gulp of diesel fuel exhaust out the back).

#6 Chesterfield Loop 6 (39.79 miles)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/862014167239
hills; route is from Chesterfield to St. Albans and back
A good challenge with some of the hills out near ST. Albans area. Haven't ridden this one yet this year.

#7 Chesterfield Loop 7 (47.53 miles)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/715890245999
hills; route is from Chesterfield to St. Albans and back
Another good workout to St. Albans and such. Incorporates Chesterfield Loop 6 and some additional distance.

#15 Chesterfiled to St. Albans - Half Tri Route (54.23 mi.)
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/mo/chesterfield/253841781302
lots of hills; traffic on Manchester can be slightly intimidating on Manchester from Old Manchester/Fox Creek Road until Pond Road; Berm is pretty chopped up in many spots on Manchester in two lane area; can pick up bike trail at Pond Road going east on Manchester for a couple of miles.
