On another post, I read that at least on person was talking about the trail from St.Charles to Machens. I thought the trail didn't exist there yet. Is it there, and just not being publicized yet? Anyone know for sure?

I rode from Pitman Hill Rd. to the 370 Bridge this evening. I thought the trail ended there. What is the status of the trail beyond that point? It looked rideable, just not as maintained, as far as I could see. Is it rideable for a significant di... [ more ]

Downtown Clinton

Read/reply

Paul Marlin, Quincy, Il	9/19/2004 10:14:20 PM
The downtown is one of the nicest anywhere. Somehow or another, Wal-mart has not succeeded in killing it. It is too bad the trailhead is out in Bull-mart country rather than near the restored downtown train station.

BikerBev, Chesterfield	6/14/2004 7:16:00 AM
I'm new at riding the trail. Why are the mile markers here in the low 40s when this is the beginning of the trail? Is there more north of St. Chas.? Thanks.
