Training rides for the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society-St.
Louis Cycling Club will include our Wednesday Evening Rides,
Winery Rides and most other rides.
While BABES rides are open to members, we are currently welcoming cyclists of all skill levels to give us a try, it's helpful if you feel comfortable with reading maps and following road signs before attending one of our rides. But if you aren't, we will help you become a more self-sufficient cyclist!
We encourage you to become a member of the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society-St. Louis Cycling Club! For more information about joining, visit STLCC's News/Info page and follow the links. Annual dues are $30 for adult full membership, $35 for full family membership and $10 for sustaining members.
BABES joins St. Louis Cycling Club!
As of March 1, the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society is affiliated with the St. Louis Cycling Club! We are pleased to be associated with the nation's oldest cycling club!
More information about the change can be found on our News page.
Wednesday Evening Rides

Our
Wednesday Evening Rides resume April 7 when Jerry Whittle leads us on

In May, Glen Peterson will leads on the flat to rolling countryside around
Mascoutah. In June, Arlene Willmann will guide us through the rural scenery
around Smithton.
Our Winery Rides likely will resume in mid-April. For more information about our rides, visit our Calendar page.

More about us
In
July 2004, Bicycling Magazine included the BABES Wednesday Evening Rides
in its "Bikes
on the Loose" feature of great club rides from throughout the country.
We were honored to be on the list.
The Riverfront Times says the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society the St. Louis area's top bicycle club in its 2008 Best of St. Louis edition! In particular, we were cited for our Wednesday Evening Rides and our occassional Donut Trail Rides in South St. Louis.
For other rides sponsored by the Gateway Council of Hostelling International, check out the monthly calendar.
BABES maps available online
As a service to St. Louis-area cyclists, BABES ride leaders are sharing maps of their favorite routes in the metro-east. Illinois always has been a favorite destination for St. Louis-area cyclists because of its scenic, low-traffic country roads. You can download the maps on our Maps page.
