Some bicyclists like tackling the hills. I prefer the flats. The topography of Saint Charles County affords one a bit of both.
The large expanse of flat land between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers is a flat-landers paradise:
I recently rode a 30 mile circuit without back-tracking on myself and there was nary a variation in elevation readings on my GPS. With a tailwind, one can move quickly on these lightly traveled backroads.
The riding is best on clear days with low humidity and wind. On those days, you're pretty happy you pulled away from the easy chair and hit the open roads which seem to stretch to the horizon.
