I'm proposing Sunday, September 16 for this. It's a 240 mile route packed with some of the best motorcycling roads Missouri has to offer. I can shorten the route if this is too long.

8:00 Meet at IHOP in Boones Crossing for Breakfast
9:00 Stands Up IHOP -> St. Clair Mobil at 44 and 47(alternate meet point)
10:30 Stands up St. Clair -> Potosi (Fuel stop)
12:00 Stands up Potosi -> Bixby (lunch at the General Store)
2:00 Stands up Bixby -> Potosi (Fuel stop)
3:00 Stands up Potosi -> Lonedell (Fuel stop)
4:30 Stands up Lonedell -> Eureka (alternate end)
5:30 Stands up Eureka -> IHOP in Boones Crossing

I used to live in that area. That should be a great ride from what I remember of the roads. Watch out for turtles!

Yep, roads are great and sometimes there are turtle hazzards, but they are easy to spot early. Too bad you can't come beck for the ride.

I've often thought about how fun it would be to ride some of those back roads. My relatives live there. You probably saw their movie, "Deliverance."



One of these days, maybe. So many places I want to go riding and not nearly enough time OR money yet.
