Biking

Few experiences in Missouri can rival this bike ride.

Some would disagree, but I'm convinced there's no better life in America than being in a small town. One tiny Missouri place was just given quite an honor being declared the 6th best small town in America.

I present to you a mystery that perhaps will never be solved. Riddle me this, Batman. How can St. Louis possibly be named a best place for naked bike riding? This just in. It has and I can prove it with science. Might want to cover your eyes.

When it comes to state parks, America has some iconic ones. One of the most prestigious outdoors websites just named an epic Missouri trail as one of the top 15 in America.

You might find a bike park as good as this one in Missouri, but I doubt you'll find one better. It's one of Missouri's newest bike parks and already some think it might be among the world's best.

I know that people see objects in nature that look like something else and most of the time it's wacky. In this case, I think it's absolutely accurate to say that a rock along a wild Missouri biking trail really does look like a whale. It seriously does.

Many of Missouri's state parks are well-known and for good reason. There is one, however, that you don't hear much about. It's a hidden gem that's actually a 2,700 acre paradise for hikers and bikers.

Are you up for an adventure? Would you like to make it happen on a bike? That will be a possibility in the very near future as there's a bike trail that will cross all of America and it's coming straight through Illinois.

There are a lot of great biking adventures in America, but I'd argue the best one is a 237 mile route that nearly crosses the entire state of Missouri.
