On Saturday, Big Shark bicycle company hosted a time trial cycling event in tangent with the completion of the Stan Musal Veterans Memorial Bridge, or StanSpan for short. Equipped with essential cold weather gloves and knit cap I ventured out to Downtown St Louis to join the festivities.
Street parking wasn't so bad. Took a loop from Broadway into Brooklyn near the expressway entrance. Had to walk it out on 10TH. The pedestrian traffic I noticed were jumping the median so I hoisted my bicycle over and started walking up hill on the ramp.
The I70 ramp pictured here offers motor commuters access to the downtown area, alleviating some major congestion.
The iconic downtown St. Louis skyline has a new feature.
For more pictures of the StanSpan, follow the St Louis dispatch online tweets and creative outlets as well. Big thanks to all who turned out to make this weekend a blast.
