SUNDAY, APRIL 16 - After being voted one of the best gravel grinders around by the readers of Terrain Magazine, we've come back with a dustier and more epic event. This year we're adding a bigger pre-event packet pickup party, two new events, live music, and more.

SUNDAY, JUNE 4 - The second annual Uphill Battle is all about ups and downs (and even more ups). This is Trailnet’s most challenging ride, and that’s the point. But don’t be scared away. These routes run through some of Missouri’s most beautiful parks and wildlife areas. The sights are so beautiful, you may forget your legs are falling off.

SUNDAY, JULY 9 - Even on a hot July day, the I Scream for Ice Cream ride is easygoing fun for all—and of course, as the name suggests, it ends with ice cream, plus beer, food and awesome sales at The Cyclery and Fitness Center in Edwardsville. Bring the whole family to thise one!

SUNDAY, AUG. 13 - The Bottleneck Bridge ride has lovingly been called “One Hill of a Ride.” 

The Bottleneck Bridge Ride takes you through downtowns and on country back roads of Jefferson County with rest stops at local wineries, restaurants and historic sites such as the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge.

SATURDAY, AUG. 26 - The Moonlight Ramble is the most unique cycling tradition in St. Louis. Join us on August 26, 2023 for the 59th Annual Moonlight Ramble®. Grab your bicycle, light it up, and join us under the glow of the full moon for a cycling adventure! As the charity partner, Trailnet benefits from your registration!

SUNDAY, SEPT. 3 - The Giro Della Montagna (“Tour of The Hill” in Italiano) is our showcase of the City of St. Louis. Giro is less forest green and more red brick, featuring unique, bike-friendly routes through neighborhoods like St. Louis Hills, Carondolet and the Central West End. The Giro is the perfect complement to our rural rides but with more big-city charm.

SUNDAY, APRIL 30 - Join Trailnet and Seed St. Louis for a ramble through the community gardens of St. Louis. This ride will highlight the food growing within our urban landscape. Bike through the West End, Forest Park, and Skinker Debaliviere with stops at a few of the more than 250 community gardens supported by Seed St. Louis.

SATURDAY, JUNE 17 - This Juneteenth, celebrate St. Louis’s Black artists, musicians and history with a bike ride featuring live music. Join Trailnet, 4TheVille and the Missouri Historical Society for a group bicycle ride with live performances from area musicians and storytellers sharing the city’s history.

SUNDAY, JULY 23 - Starting at the Missouri Historical Society Research Library—the old United Hebrew Temple on Skinker Blvd—Warren Rosenblum, Professor of History at Webster University, and guides from the Missouri Historical Society will take us on a tour of Jewish History in St. Louis.

SATURDAY, OCT. 28 - Trailnet’s favorite tour guide and art consultant Dana Gray (Tower Grove Neighborhoods Community Development Corp.) is back to show us more of St. Louis’ artistic marvels! Stay tuned!
