St. Charles County is prime cycling spot

St. Charles County, Mo., is becoming THE cycling mecca for off-road cyclists, or at least that's what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting today.

John Donjoian, founder of Gateway Off-Road Cycling, is pleased by the expansion, the Post-Dispatch reports. He said mountain bikers from throughout the Midwest are discovering the trails that lace many of St. Charles County's wooded hillsides.

As for me, I'm off to the cycling mecca for road cyclists, Madison County, Ill., to do some of the trails around Edwardsville.

Being able to go on a comfortable bike ride on New Year's Day does a lot to lift the spirits. I wish I could enjoy cold-weather cycling as Jill Homer does up in Alaska, but residual effects from my childhood asthma makes riding in temperatures below 40 degrees really uncomfortable for my lungs.

Happy New Year one and all, and I hope you're in a place where you can ride your bike outside to start the year on the right track!
