BABES winery ride set for Sept. 18

Join the Belleville Area Bicycle and Eating Society on Sunday, Sept. 18, for our first-ever ride from the Ravissant Winery in Belleville, Ill. We are planning three routes ranging from about 15 miles to 35/40 miles. Meet at the winery at 11:30 a.m. and take off at noon. You'll return in time to listen to the sounds of Raven Moon, a bluegrass/acoustic band that will be playing at the winery from 2 to 5 p.m. The winery is at 5950 Town Hall Road in Belleville. From St. Louis, take Interstate 64 east across Poplar Street Bridge to Interstate 255 South to Illinois Route 15 east (Exit 17A). Go about 5 miles to the Frank Scott Parkway West exit. Turn left off exit, then turn right on Town Hall Road. In addition to wine, the winery has items like cheese, crackers and sausage. You may bring picnic baskets and coolers with food, but alcoholic beverages purchased outside the winery are prohibited. If you are planning to attend the ride, please RSVP ride leader Roger Kramer at babes@rogerkramercycling.org by Friday, Sept. 16. Ravissant will reserve parking and table space for us.
