Bike Racing - Giro della Montagna
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

We thought we’d blend our interest in bike racing (our son races) with our interest in geocaching. We'll place caches along road bike race courses in the St. Louis area. Most of these courses are in area parks or interesting neighborhoods, the same type of areas that are good for geocaching.
Gateway Cup is the biggest cycling event of the year in St. Louis -Labor Day Weekend. 4 days of racing in 4 different locations around the City. Something for everyone, from kids races to professionals. The granddaddy of the Gateway Cup races is the Giro della Montagna on The Hill. This year (2010) is the 25th edition of the race, which is enthusiastically supported by this Italian neighborhood. The start/finish line is right in front of St. Ambrose Catholic Church.
The neighborhood is fun to visit and explore, filled with Italian eating establishments, the Bocce Club, and the boyhood homes of Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola.
This is a nano, so bring a writing utensil and any other tools which might be appropriate. This was prepared with the SLBC Ladies in mind, who wanted a Bike Racing cache that wouldn't require a hint.
