Events

Ride the Centennial is from 8 – 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 18 and from 9 a.m. – noon on Saturday, October 24 at Centennial Trailhead at Heritage Museum, 1630 Heritage Landing in St. Peters.

Participants 15 years and older can see how St. Charles County trails are connected through an extensive regional trails network called Great Rivers Greenway. Join us on an intermediate level, 12-mile morning bike ride that connects rivers, parks and communities. We’ll start at the trailhead at St. Charles County Heritage Museum, ride the paved Centennial Trail to Bangert Island and then ride the more than three miles of natural trails on the island. Riders may bring a sack lunch, if desired.

To register for these free biking programs, visit stccparks.org or call the Parks Department at (636) 949-7535.

Bike Drive is from 8 a.m. – noon on Saturday, July 18 at the Lake Saint Louis Farmers and Artists Market, Meadows Circle Drive in Lake St. Louis. 

The Lake Saint Louis Police Department is partnering with St. Louis BicycleWorks and the Lake Saint Louis Farmers and Artists Market to take those old bicycles off your hands. A member of the police department’s bike patrol unit will be on hand to assist BicycleWorks with the collection of bicycles of any style and in any condition.  In addition, bicycle parts will be accepted.    

The old bikes, or bicycles in need of repair, will be reconditioned or rebuilt by BicycleWorks (bworks.org).  They will eventually find their way to deserving children, who may not be able to afford to purchase a bicycle on their own, but have the opportunity to earn one through various programs and projects.
