Giro Della Lou

The Giro Della Lou, formerly known as the Giro Della Montagna, is our showcase of the City of St. Louis. Giro bursts onto the scene with vibrant energy, swapping the serene forest green for the fiery allure of red brick. Its winding paths weave through the heart of iconic neighborhoods like St. Louis Hills, Carondelet, and the Central West End, offering a thrilling adventure for cyclists.

After the ride, stick around to watch some exciting bike racing during The Gateway Cup brought to you by Big Shark Bicycle Company.

Trailnet planners are collaborating with Beyond Housing and the Wellston community to reimagine safer and slower residential streets in Wellston. They received valuable community feedback about road safety concerns from town hall meetings, community surveys, and conversations with community members. Using this feedback, Trailnet created a set of recommended traffic-calming solutions for Wellston, Quick-build traffic calming features were recently implemented at the intersection of Stephen Jones & Plymouth!
