Legs were tired but not sore. I needed a long, flat ride - mission accomplished.
Riverfront trail -- up IL side and return on MO side. Trail in very good shape except numerous areas need sweeping of sand.
Saw first deer on MO side.
East of chain of Rocks bridge at Phillips 66 store, met wo25ish hikers with day-packs asking best route to STL! But first at to go out of their way 2-3 miles to nearest Wal Mart.
Then 'rescued' mom and 2 young adult daughters. Mom had flat. I fixed it but tube or my pump still had problem. So I led daughters back to their car to pick her up at Branch Street access - success. Added 5 miles.

Hiked LeBarque & Glassberg loops with SC. Despite heat, felt good.
New bridge & steps a nice addition to beginning of LC trail [to avoid muddy climb on rocks]. Trails in good shape but LC trail needs some lopping.

Finally got to Y at 2 PM; closed at 1:45 due to water main break. Instead 2 laps of FP and one lap of TGP with stop at Union Loafers.
Felt good even in heat but I do need hill work.

Brisk evening walk in TGP - still humid. Good to see all the games: Ultimate, softball, and soccer.
