Maps
All rides of the Belleville Area Bicycling and
Eating Society are free to members of Hostelling International and $3
for non-members.
While BABES rides are open to cyclists of all skill levels, 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!

BABES rated No. 1 bike club in St. Louis!
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 Rides in South St. Louis.
During July, our Wednesday Evening Rides take place in O'Fallon, Ill. We'll meet at 6:15 p.m. at the "caboose" parking lot along First Street in downtown O'Fallon and take off at 6:30. For more information, visit our Ride Calendar page.
The
Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society now has a Facebook
Page!
We invite you to become one of our Fans. You'll be able to upload photos
and videos that you shoot on some of our rides, plus communicate with
your fellowcyclists. Come join us today!

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.
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.
