Moonlight Ramble

The Moonlight Ramble is now in its 54th year, and the nocturnal bike ride though the streets of the city is still going strong. The actual route remains a secret until late in the game, but rest assured you'll see a whole new St. Louis as the city is illuminated by the full moon. This year's ride begins at the intersection of Eighth and Cerre streets (Busch Stadium parking lot C; www.moonlightramble.com), which will be open for the pre-ride festivities, including cycling vendors and live music, at 9 p.m. Saturday, August 5. The course opens at 12:01 a.m. (technically Sunday morning), and you'll have a choice of routes: either the 9.5-mile run, or the 18.5-mile course. It's not a race, so just have fun out there, and remember, helmets are required for all riders. Registration is $10 for youth riders (up to age sixteen) and $25 for adults.
