Winter Solstice Community Campout with Missouri Bikepacking
December 21 - December 22
FreeThis Winter Solstice Community Campout will be hosted with the support of Bikepacking Roots.
It might also be a Swift Industries “Goodnight 2024 Overnighter”.
The group will start at Big Shark West and will utilize the Monarch Levee trail and many beautiful west St Louis County roads to the Buelah Shelter at Greensfelder County Park. This shelter is 3 sided stone with a fireplace, many picnic tables, and outhouse within close proximity.
The route is completely paved and totals about 40 miles. route can be found here https://ridewithgps.com/collections/3035319
Organizers decided on a paved route this year because they really wanted to go to Greensfelder. They felt being close to the city may be more inviting for those new to bikepacking and less of a commitment being close to the holiday.
