Courses

Riders may choose from five courses. All courses start and finish at the Soldiers' Memorial in downtown St. Louis. The shorter courses offer a mixture of flat and rolling terrain, with a few moderate hills. The PTC Classic Long Ride and Century Ride are extremely challenging with several steep climbs.

The top riders of the Babler Beast Challenge in each age group for both men's and women's will receive awards.
