I'm headed to Missouri with my boys on a bike trip the end of the month. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best places to ride?  |

Kinda partial to Southern Mo. as I live down here. Mo 14 from West Plains to Ava. Mo 95 from Mountain Grove to Theodosia. US 160 from Poplar Bluff to Branson. U S 63 from Jefferson City to Arkansas. The stretch of U S 63 between Rolla and West Plains is JUST a road. Mo 19 from Salem to Thayer. Mo 17 from West Plains to Arkansas. AND I'm just scratching the surface. Mo 181 from Cabool to Gainesville. Continue on U S 63 to Hardy Arkansas-auto museum in Hardy and antique tourist trap-sorta of!  More will come to me but that's a start. RIDE SAFE. |

You may have missed the best part of MO 14. The road from Ava to Ozark is one of my favorite runs. |

It's good all the way south from Sparta into Arkansas. I like to take the ferry across the lake on 5 and then the run into Arkansas is great too. I don't care much for 160 but I will use it. It tends to get slick and has more traffic than I like on two laned curvy roads. |

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've been mapping out our trip, how about the small roads like KK and K from zanoni to W plains or 95 from Wasola to Theodosia? I'm always looking for the curvy back roads with some great views. I figure if we park the trailer in Cabool or Houston we are close to some great riding

Just about any road in south/central Missouri will be crooked and a lot of up and down. With in a 50 mile radius of Cabool I like 137, 95, 17, 19, 160, 14, and most any oher state maintained road. 19 from Eminance to Cuba would be at the top of my list.

I have yet to find a straight road in SE Missouri, close your eyes and pick a road and go, you won't be disappointed .
