Friend and I are going to be staying at a family members in Fenton for a few nights on our annual bike trip and would like any destinations in the area to ride to or highways to hit. Mark Twain is an obvious choice, I'm just more familiar with KC than STL.

Central MO is awesome I just don't want to make our days too long where we are riding back to Fenton at midnight. Both of us are on 5th gens [image: emoji41.png]

Lots of great roads for day rides by the STL
mark twain is a fun run to Bixby and grab a bite at the gas station
HWY P a few miles out of Potosi has a blind left handed down hill that's bumpy and collects a lot of bodywork in the ditches.
19 out of the west side of mark twain is a good road and can ride quite a ways down pending on time allowances
Piedmont also has some Butler gold roads to tool around on down that way

For a half day ride a loop out to Washington for lunch and then back on 94 is a a good Missouri River hills ride

When are u coming down this way?

Also Rush is down here and should chime in. Although he is prolly at church this morning praying for the will to finish his bike project and the exhaust re release.

Pm me and we can talk more

Thanks for the helps thus far. I am not planning on creating any GPS routes, just some way points of places to head towards. We did routing last year and while we had a great ride in WI, it was a lot of effort. I just want to wing this one.

Oh glad to see there is something nice around Ft Leonardwood. That town is an absolute dump :beer:

All roads mentioned are good ones. From St Louis we would start out from Potosi. Since MO does not have an abundance of good roads in a given area,something we do is run the good roads in both directions or as many times as you desire. Then we ride to the next area.

If possible consider tying your ride in with the Hog Tie in AR. Would make for a great twisty getaway.

I'd love to get down into AR again for some riding, but that is a helluva haul for us at 9+ hours flat slabbing it there with only a 4-5 day weekend available.

Looks like the weekend of Sept 19th we will be down in the area. Likely leave Wednesday night, come home Monday
