Moonlight Biking in St. Louis
Is there a more perfect way to travel than being behind the wheel of your new Ford truck? No, of course not. But sometimes you want to see the world from a different view and get some exercise and fresh air in at the same time. For you, St. Louis this summer has just the ticket.
For the fortieth straight year, Missourians are getting together for the Moonlight Ramble, a mysterious and legendary bike ride that takes riders through all the best stops in St. Louis. Every year this celebrated bike ride starts on the Saturday closest to the full moon, and you don’t get on the bikes until after midnight. The route is never disclosed in advance, and the ride is shrouded in secrecy. This event is a favorite among seasoned bike riders and newbies alike, and there are several who have ridden the course every year since the event’s inception.
This annual event attracts more than 10,000 riders all wearing commemorative t-shirts that naturally glow in the dark. There’s both a 10 mile and 20 mile option so everybody gets just the right amount of riding in. The event both begins and ends near Soldier’s Memorial Plaza at Market Street, and with 10,000 riders, you’ll find out where to go quickly enough.
Before the event, make sure to check out the entertainment offered by the radio sponsor and take a peek around vendor’s village. Local bike shops will be on site to offer quick repairs and parts at normal shop prices. All the money raised for the event goes to support local community projects.

the cyclist in your life, pack up the bikes in the back of your new Ford vehicle and head on over for the bike ride of your life. If you don't have a Ford vehicle, stop by your Ellisville area Ford dealer today.
