Group Training

Tri Club Group Run in Forest Park

Meet at 6:00am in the parking lot across from the Visitor’s Center. Runners do one 6.5 mile loop at 8:30-10 min/mile pace, which will vary with attendance. The run is always counter-clockwise from the visitor’s center, so you also have the option of running clockwise from Skinker to join us. We will not drop a runner if they don’t want to run alone. We run in almost any weather Mother Nature throws at us with the exception of active lightning or multiple inches of snow. If a run begins in the dark, headlamps or lights are recommended. Map below shows meeting location.

Thursday Night Ride at Forest Park

No drop group rides every Thursday night, weather permitting, leaving from the east side of the Forest Park Visitors Center parking lot at 6:00 pm. Please try to gather at 5:45pm so that you will have ample time to set up your bike, air up your tires and hit the restroom if necessary before we roll out at 6pm.

Helmets are required for all riders, no exceptions.

All rides are no drop rides. You will not be left behind. There are regroup points along the routes and a designated rider will lead the group and will work with other riders to make sure no one is lost or gets too far behind.

Rides are subject to cancellation if there is weather in the area or if the riding conditions are unsafe. Please keep an eye on our Facebook Group Page for official ride status if the weather looks iffy.

The pool may remain closed during  inclement weather (snow and ice). We will do our best to post a closure annoucement on the club’s private Facebook group as well as here on the website.

Tuesday Night CCP Ride

The group will meet at the Sailboat Cove parking lot of Creve Coeur Park near the boathouse.  Routes vary in distance but will typically be in the range of 20-30 miles.
