Description: NO DROP 27 mile loop ride starting at the Eberwein Park in Chesterfield.  We will take a few roads to get to Olive Street and then be on the wide sidewalk/bike trail along Olive Street (not riding on Olive Street). We will be heading to the Katy Trail so bring an appropriate bike for riding on pavement and gravel trail.  Take note that the RidewithGPS map says that we will be on unpaved surface along Olive Street. That is not true. It is all paved except for the Katy Trail.

Typically, the Trail dries out pretty well unless there’s been a torrential downpour recently.
