Does anyone have a recommendation of a nice 30 mile bike ride on the trail? I would appreciate some feedback and information on which part of the trail would be nicest. Thanks!

The title of your posting says, "30 Minute" Trail Ride. That could change things a bit.....unless you're a super-fast pedaler. ;)

As far as a 30 MILE trail ride, I'd recommend anything Weldon Springs and west. That's usually a normal after-work ride for me: 15 miles out, 15 miles back. Unfortunately I live at the St. Charles end. :(

If you can do central Missouri, area between Hartsburg and Rocheport is always enjoyable - bluffs, river, farmland, some wildlife. Before leaves fall, between Boonville and Clifton City is kind of neat, with the way the trees arch over the trail in different areas.

Thank you both. Yes, I definitely meant 30 mile trail ride, thank you for catching that! Weldon Spring to Augusta turned out to be a great ride. Thanks again!

Good choice. Living right near the St. Charles end, it's easy to just hop on at Frontier Park and ride but I personally find the ride from there to Greens Bottom pretty boring.

My choice is exactly what you did: park at Weldon Springs trailhead and ride to Augusta and back. Of course it's getting a little hairy driving down highway 94 with all the construction going on near Jungermann and surrounding areas.

Try the ride from Marthasville to Treloar. The farther you get away from St Charles the more privacy you have. Is it pretty? That depends on what your definition is and the time of year. Marthasville to Treloar is a nice easy ride, very pretty all the time and fits into your specs. I do this ride a lot since I live in Washington.
