2020 Placemaking STL Community Ride
July 25, 2020 - August 23, 2020
Event Navigation
Enjoy some of St. Louis’ most beautiful plazas with Trailnet on our Community Ride: Placemaking STL. We will explore sites offering active and passive recreation, artistic expression, and environmentally beneficial landscapes.
In order to preserve the health and safety of our partners and participants, the Placemaking STL ride will not take place in standard fashion. Instead of the traditional group ride event, it will be a scavenger hunt that you can complete on your own!
The concept is simple. We build the scavenger hunt, you download the free app and join the game. The map and clues will direct you to the points of interest and offer information about the significance of that location. Please watch this quick video tutorial on how to get set up.
It’s no substitute for an actual group ride, but it still allows us to bring the best of St. Louis to you and your bike. And there’s a bonus: You can ride, walk, roller skate or cartwheel the route! It’s up to you. Just have fun.
