 St Peters - St Paul - Old Monroe
Today's route was a new one to me, although many of the roads were parts of a couple other rides I've done over the years. We started at the commuter lot in St Peters (I-70 @ Mid Rivers), and skirted the NE side of O'Fallon on our way to S...t Paul. From there some of us then did an extra 5-mile loop, while others just went straight to Old Monroe. I felt good throughout the ride, especially considering it being a hilly route, though nothing was real steep requiring use of my granny gear - actually I used the big chain ring on the whole ride except for one hill on the 5-mile loop.

Once in Old Monroe, we were surprised that the place that we were planning to eat at didn't open until 10:30, so we made our way on over to the Big T Deli and enjoyed breakfast sandwiches!

The temp started in the low 60's and was a little cool as we first started rolling, but getting the heart rate up got the body warm, and then the air warmed up comfortably into the 70's.
