Hilly Bike Routes in/near STL?

getsome could probably tell you better because is he around there as well.     I do know that Babler state park is hilly.   Its near the chesterfield crossing, a bit of a drive for you but still in the St Louis metro area.   There probably isnt much traffic inside the park so it is pretty safe, and you can climb "The Beast".   I did a triathlon out there last year.

getsome and I were actually talking this weekend about not knowing where the good routes were. lol!

 I might ask around the bike shops too.

shows you how useful i am, eh, josh?

that whole area out by wildhorse creek past chesterfield is frightening.  it might be worth exploring though, ranger.

Where is this wildhorse creek you speak of?

Head out to Wildwood or down to Jefferson County. Either area will provide you with all the climbing you can handle. As for specific routes, there are many. I suggest you check out the routing on 2WheelTech.com.
