I'm relocating to St Louis this Sept, and am trying to get plugged into the local racing and training scene here. I know there is a wkday Tues night crit put on by Big Shark, and from what I can tell there is a Tues night worlds as well and a Wed night TT? Is this correct? If so, can someone give me more details on the worlds (meeting place and time?), as well as the TT (same course or different course, start times, etc). Is there one primary website that has all of the info? Thanks for the help.

Same courses. Tuesday crit is the Tuesday night worlds and they are held at carondelet park at 55 and loughborough. The TT is just N? of 270 and Riverview in the confluence st park on Wednesdays, anyone who knows can correct me if Im wrong about the park or street names since I am not certain.

Tuesday nights are more fun then most crit courses and the TT is super flat and great pavement.

In response to your question: this web-site has it all. Go to the home page and click away. Print out the race flyers to get maps, fees, etc. Tue=crits, Wed=TT, Thu=track (yes - track! Mr. Bumpy Face). Everything from Tris to Dirt and in-between, Includes links to Missouri's USAC LA. This forum you're on covers everything else. From what we've heard from neighboring states, one of the most comprehensive, best-used and informative cycling web-sites. Do some research, and there will be very few questions left.

Wednesday Night Time Trial takes place at the Missouri Department of Conservation's Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, which, as a previous poster said, is just north of I-270 on Riverview Blvd. The TT course is a 4.5 mile out-and-back, completely flat and perfectly smooth. The TT series has a website with results sortable by rider and/or by race, www.stltt.com. Unfortunately, if you aren't moving to STL until September, the series will be over, as it runs from April until mid August.

depending on when you get here in september, the tuesday, wed, and thurs training races will be over.  However the weekend cyclocross stuff kicks in from there until mid December, and there are some midweek impromptu training sessions in the area parks.

Thanks everyone for the love for both the site and WNTT. Very much appreciated!

So, pretty much what everyone's said already but to add a couple of hopefully helpful links: I put up a Q&A for Wednesday TT Series earlier this year, and you can always search this forum for WNTT to get just about everything else.

Results and standings are on STLTT.com

There are lots of race-ish weekday and weekend rides, too, especially the Monday Mueller ride (in St. Charles) Wednesday Hub Ride starting in Webster Groves at The Hub bike shop, and another at the Hub on Saturday mornings. Do you know yet what part of town you're moving to? There are several threads if you search back on this site detailing the relative merits of various areas from a cycling (and rest of life) perspective.

Cyclocross training rides/races will start well before September.
