First of (hopefully) many themed group rides - Historic Places #1

I put together a route that takes us by some pretty tighty stuff.  Here are links and a map to learn about shit we'll see.
  
   1- The oldest house in St. Louis - The Emmanuel DeHodiamont House
   2- The oldest building in St. Louis - The Old Cathedral (aka Basilica of St. Louis the King)
   3- The oldest family-owned business in St. Louis (and as it happens, also the oldest industrial 
        lubricant manufacturer in America - Schaeffer Manufacturing Company
   4- The oldest bridge in St. Louis - A walking bridge in Benton Park

Then, after we have seen the bridge, I think we'll stop for a bite to eat somewhere on S. Grand and maybe have a drink.  If for some reason, you are reading this and you feel like taggin' along with Jason Ian and I, please feel free to join us.  Just figure out a way to message me--we leave at 9 am.
