We planned to get an early start and stop at Cuivre River park to do some control picking on the way home. But a good wedding reception, pouring rain and an offer to go out to breakfast, ended that plan. Next time.

MAJ and I were on our way back to Klondike Park for another ride when we saw some people in a random parking lot putting mountain bikes back on their cars. We pulled in and found out there was a 9 mile loop accessible from that spot. Lost Valley Trail.

It was a great trail. It was a fun combination of flat and fast single track and old gravel roads and technical single track over loose rock.

We now have two great reasons to sneak away when we go visit my parents.

Mountain biking at Klondike Park just west of St. Charles. Technical ride that was well worth the 25 minute drive from my parents' house. Two separate sections that had different characteristics.

This is the first time I have mountain biked in Missouri and I am really glad we brought our bikes for this super quick trip. A number of falls and I got off my bike a number of times to walk past obstacles.
