While researching the web for a feature I am writing about Missouri's Katy Trail for RideTHISbike.com's Great Bike Trails, I learned that the St. Louis metro area (the eastern terminus of the Katy) offers over 50 biking trails and bike routes.

A great site about the trails in the St. Louis area is TrailNet.org. According to info on their homepage, TrailNet is working to add a Trails & Bikeways section to their website by the end of this year. The section will feature an interactive regional map displaying the trails and bikeways. Each trail/bikeway will be described using a standard format that will include trail length, surface type, terrain traversed, trail locations, driving directions, trail facilities, contact information and a trail map.

Sounds like I could possibly add St. Louis to the growing list of Great City Rides too but I need to wrap up the story on Albuquerque, New Mexico.
