which is open to only bicycle and pedestrian traffic. It is very unique in that it has a 30 degree bend in it. Once we were on the Missouri side, we followed a nice
bike trail all the way down to the arch. We took the obligatory photos
and then he’ll started. Riding through St Louis and then on to our campsite in Eureka was a combination of heavy traffic, narrow shoulders, temperatures around 90 degrees, high humidity, and some very steep hills!!! It was a 56 mile day and it really kicked everyone’s butt. Everyone stopped multiple times to drink quarts of Gatorade and water. Tomorrow we have hills and it will be hot but hopefully we’ll have a lot less traffic. I absolutely hate this humidity!!
