We took the Route Suggestion 2, but traveled from the Page Extension Bridge to Kirkwood.

After 4 days on a calm, flat trail - this was a stressful bike ride back to Kirkwood. The constant traffic flow can be unnerving - and prepare yourself for hills! It was relatively safe, with mostly sidewalks and wide enough shoulders, but we do want to send caution on a few things:

1. Marine Drive was very steep, with NO shoulder. The road is curvy and pretty blind to oncoming traffic. Please be careful here!!!!

2. The drainage grates along Ladue Road near I-270. This may seem like a silly warning, but the drainage grates are parallel with the road - and are wide enough for a bicycle tire to get stuck.

SAFE & Happy Travels!
