About this Event

Pere Marquette State Park Ride (#4 – Overnighter Adventure)
📍 Starting from Bike Stop Cafe – 701 S Riverside Dr, St. Charles, MO 63301
🗓️ Departs Saturday, October 15 at 12:00 PM
🎯 Returns Sunday between 3:00–4:00 PM
🚲 ~55–65 miles total | Back roads + ferry crossings

Get ready for an overnight adventure through one of the most scenic gems in the region—Pere Marquette State Park. Located just north of St. Louis on the Illinois side, this ride combines small-town charm, riverside beauty, and a bit of fall magic.

We’ll start at Bike Stop Cafe in St. Charles, cruise the Katy Trail, ride some back roads, and hop on not one, but multiple ferry rides across the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. We’ll be fully loaded with everything we need to camp in the park overnight—then head back Sunday with a surprise stop at an orchard for some fall treats.

What to bring:
✔️ Helmet (required!)
✔️ Lights (recommended)
✔️ Plenty of water
✔️ Bags or racks for your gear
✔️ Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad
✔️ Cookware + food for two days
✔️ A sense of adventure and maybe a sweet tooth

Highlights include:
🛶 Ferry crossings on both major rivers
🍂 Fall colors and camping in Pere Marquette
🍎 Surprise orchard stop on the way back
🚴‍♀️ ~60 miles of bikepacking goodness with good people

We’ll post a full prep list and hold a gear night before the trip so everyone feels ready and confident. This ride is meant to be accessible, scenic, and just the right mix of challenge and fun.

New views, fall vibes, and ferry rides. Let’s go.
