  • Fenton

  • Starting point with good places for meeting-up (a couple of shoppong centers at the 141 / 30 instesection). First part of the trip is straight & not all that interesting.

  • Murphy

    at 5km
  • Parkdale

    at 8km
  • High Ridge

    at 11km
  • Byrnes Mill

    at 16km
  • Scotsdale

    at 17km
  • House Springs

    at 19km
  • Turn off 30 onto MM. MM has a few warm-up curves, but nothing serious.

  • Turn onto 21

    at 25km
  • 21 is slab for awhile. Boring, but you need to ride it to get to the good stuff. You can really open it up through there, but there are rumors of it being a cop haven. Personally, I haven't seen any on this stretch of 21, but the northern parts may be worse.

  • OFF THE SLAB!

    at 33km
  • Things get a little better. A few sweepers, but you can maintain full speed through them. Heavy traffic, IMO.

  • Hillsboro

    at 42km
  • De Soto

    at 54km
  • Redneck heaven. :) Turn onto H. There is a Pizza Hut & gas station at the intersection if anyone needs a break (or food). Get ready for the fun riding! Mostly sweepers, but many of them with some striaghts in-between.

  • Richwoods

    at 77km
  • Not much here. be careful for mud/dried clumps of dirt on the roads. Lots of 4x4ers in the area. After a few strights, thingsd get REAL twisty and you have to be careful. Few cars, but the ones you see may be on your side fo the road. Take care!

  • BFE - turn here!

    at 86km
  • You just got a taste of a road that is like a fine wine. Get ready to drink more like it's coming through a fire hose!

  • Sullivan

  • Gas station here.

  • Lull in trip - many sweepers & hills, but you can take most at full speed.

  • Beaufort

    at 145km
  • More sweepers, this is the resting portion of the trip. Fun, but not technical at all.
