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.

About us

The Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society, more commonly known as the BABES, is a loosely organized bicycling group that conducts bicycle rides near Belleville, Ill. Most of our rides are on lightly traveled rural roads in St. Clair, Madison, Clinton and Monroe counties of Illinois.

We are affiliated with the St. Louis Cycling Club, the oldest continuous bicycle club in the United States. Most of our rides are considered training rides except for major fundraisers.

Our primary ride is the Wednesday Evening Ride, which we do weekly from April until mid-September. We usually have two or three routes ranging from 12-25 miles. After the ride, we go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. This is how we earned our name.

While our rides are open to members we currently welcome male and female cyclists of every skill level to give us a try, and we do our best to make sure no one is left behind.
