New Routes

With the arrival of Spring and much better weather for scooting, I am on the lookout for new routes.

I rode last weekend with Scooter Club of St. Louis out to Washington and back. This is my all time favorite route and I know every bump in the road! One of the ladies took a spill on on of the curves on Ossenfort :( What appeared to be a *minor* spill ended up quite serious. At the urging of the paramedics she was taken to the hospital and they found her spleen was bleeding and had to be removed. Thankfully, she is mending now, but slowly. After seeing her full face helmet scared to hell and back it just reaffirmed my decision to always ride with a full face helmet.

Monday I headed out south through Jefferson County, some beautiful country out there. On my rides to Washington, I am use to seeing horses.. I was treated to cows this time. Like the horses, I am sure these creatures laugh at me too :)

This Monday, I have plans to ride out to Robertsville State Park! Can not wait!

Finally!!!



It's been a long cold winter, I was finally able to get out on the scooter today. I rode down to Forest Park, then down the the river front, through Soulard, back to the Hill for lunch at Amigetti's and then followed Clayton all the way home.

Was a perfect day! I was just happy to finally get out. I only took one picture. Was to much fun watching people out and about like myself.
