Calling all Mountain Bikers ! 

This is the time for getting out on some single track without DEET!  Council Bluffs lake has a great 12 mile trail for all riders.  And, don't forget St. Joe, a myriad of trails of all distances.  If you would like to get a group together email Karenmohan@sbcglobal.net for more information. 

Beg, Borrow, and Share 

We are organizing a local members resource for cycling.  If you need travel books for an area, trail maps, want to sell a bike or need a part or tool, would like to find a weekly riding partner, this will be your connection to other local cyclists.  Just email your request to Karenmohan@sbcglobal.net and we will post your 'Ad'  on this website under Beg, Borrow, and Share.

Got a ride or trail to share ?

 Kaintuck Trail west of Rolla Mo is an off-road, hilly, rocky, rutted, creek-filled 14 mile treasure in the Mark Twain National Forest.  There is a 175' natural bridge with a creek running under it and large enough to walk through.  The trails are both rough and steep in areas and meandering  and pine-covered on  ridgetops.  There is a  huge drained pond with a spring that flows 3 million gallons a day.  The trails are marked well and easily followed with a map from the Forest website.  One more note, the trail is multi-use, bikes must yield to horses. If you have some fat tires, and one, or better two, shocks on your ride, the Kaintuck is a fun and challenging trail.  

Possum Hollow Ride  is a fun and hilly road ride south of Farmington.  Parking at Engler Park and pedaling East to H Hwy.  Cross H Hwy onto Copenhagen and follow that to a right turn onto Old Fredericktown. Turn right at Possum Hollow and continue on a hilly ride to DD Hwy at Knob Lick.  Make a left on DD for a short distance then a left  on Knob Lick Rd.  Follow Knob Lick Rd. to a left back onto  Old Fred. where you can follow back to Engler Park.  This ride is about 24 miles, has some houses with some dogs, but is a good example of rural riding around the Parkland.
