Where didn't we ride today?

Did you ever have a day you didn't want to end?? This was one of those days, my Ground Hog Day, I could replay this day over and over...

Up and bright early, Pete and I headed to First Watch for breakfast. If you have never eaten at First Watch, do yourself a favor, do so!! The crepe eggs are yummy! During our very organic healthy breakfast we plotted our day. We decided it would just be a day of wandering.

We headed over to Old Lemay Ferry, once at Seckman, I decided I wanted to try out Frisco Hill Road! WOW!! Awesome awesome road!! HUGE elevation changes and a set of switch backs out of this world! Twist Frisco Hill comes back to Old LeMay Ferry, so we zipped on down to Rice Road. I swear you think Ossenfort is the Devil's Road?? Rice Road is OSSENFORT ON STEROIDS!! The road is just to die for, forget the Dragon, we own it right here in Missouri! The views to Sandy Valley are phenomenal.

Once we were done with Rice road we headed over to Goldman East to back track to Sandy Creek Bridge. It was fun coming across the valley we were just viewing from Rice. Goldman is a nice country road and prepares you for Sandy Church! We took a bathroom break at Sandy Creek Bridge, geez I never tire of this place!

Once out of Sandy Creek we headed across Glade Chapel Road, sweet piece of road. Instead of coming up Hillsboro-House Spring per the norm, we took Glade Chapel west to Hwy BB. Then BB to cedar Hill to Gravois to NN. Oh yeah in Cedar Hill, I came around a sharp up hill curve and it appeared someone had blown an engine and there was oil everywhere... I straight away tell Pete to go right, however Bella and I went through it. I felt both tires slide ever so slightly to the right Geezz that could have been SO MUCH worse!

NN is one of the first roads Pete and I ever rode on together.. was fun talking about that as we zipped along. Just another beautiful twist road with massive elevation changes. After NN we headed into Pacific then over to Eureka and time for a Monster break... wow look kids it's Six Flags!

Once a couple of M-80's were downed we headed up Allenton Road, they have repaved Allenton Road, a great road just went SUPER Great!! Of course we could not pass up the scenic loop in Greensfelder Park!

After leaving Greensfelder we headed over to Melrose. Opps up there at NN and Pacific, I failed to mentioned that I asked Pete what did he wanted for lunch, eggs salad or Wolfie's? He picked Wolfies Jump Guess what kids we are going URBAN!! But we still have some country ride to go yet. Melrose to Ossenfort to Wild Horse Creek, does life get much better? Seriously??

Once in town we headed over several urban jungle roads to Woodson Terrace and Wolfie's Hot Dog Stand! This was Pete's first trip and my what?? 1,000th??? I love sharing new places with Pete. Look at this smile :)

At lunch we decided we decided we would ride downtown and see if the Arch was still there. While riding we decided the Arch was more than likely still there so we headed over to Forest Park to the Jewel Box. Did you know there was a Korean War memorial at the Jewel Box?? No?? Neither did we! Was very nice!

Wow

I can't believe it has been 3 months since I have blogged about my scootering adventures. But then again I can. I have had so many wonderful adventures that I have hardly had the time to blog about them. This will change, I will catch up this week!
