Meramec Loop is a relatively easy loop that can be ridden in either and is very family friendly. It has some slight rolling hills and a few tight corners to make it interesting. It's a great place for anyone from new riders getting comfortable on their bikes to experienced riders looking to ride fast and flowy laps.
