Forest Park is bikeable, about six miles per loop. You can bike from the park, head east to the Arch and back and get to about 12 miles (+6 more at the park). Lindell Blvd is pretty decent to bike (e: I change this to "ok"), not a ton of traffic on weekends, but keep your head up anyway. Heavy Riff brewing is on the south side of the park and has/had good darker beers. If you want to drive for biking, Grants Trail is a paved trail with few road crossings. A popular trail for runners, too, because it's protected, so you'll likely weave around people. If you want to venture out a little, the Katy Trail is gravel and you'd also have few interruptions. There are cafes and at least one brewery on the St. Louis end of the trail (Good News). I think Good News is right about 10 miles out from a Katy Trail trailhead in St. Charles.  Previous Message got a pair of tickets to the tournament, seems very likely at least one of Iowa State or Illinois will be there (hopefully both) but I think we're committed to the trip either way. * any suggestions on things to do for the off day downtown or around St. Louis * weather permitting we might bring our bikes, any suggestions for saturday? I'm pretty adventurous but she might not want to ride through sketchy areas. A 15-25 mile loop with scenery and/or a couple of good stops would be ideal. * I see St. Louis City SC has a game Saturday night. What's the vibe for those? Fun times? is sitting in the supporter section worth it?
