Riding in Missouri
 

Anyone doing any riding in Missouri while this virus is hanging out here ? I gotta get out for awhile. Gonna find some lonely roads to wander.

Been riding quite a bit around here. Lot's of other bikes around also.

I rode today and got in a good loop. Rode from Lake of the Ozarks down around Table Rock Lake and back with plenty of good detours along the way. Didn't check the odometer but probably around 300 miles round trip. My first good ride this Spring, had just rode local mostly the last couple months, running errands and such.

I took a long ride yesterday and ventured in Illinois. Lots of people out for a state that is shut down. I never stopped anywhere or even talked to anyone all day. Just me and the radio. Felt good ,but i'm sure ready to get bad to normal. It will be nice when you will be able to stop at a watering hole once in awhile.

Things are starting to open up again in my area, be glad when it opens up everywhere.

Had planned on the Buckhorn Rally coming up Memorial weekend but it was cancelled, I figured it would be but one of my kids always takes his vacation that week and we would do the rally then a road trip afterwards. Now we don't know what we will do that week/10 days. A road trip but not sure what will be open. His vacation rolls over in June for a new year so it's a use it or lose it deal on the week he has left or we would just postpone.

Yep! me too.
Hwy 79 North to Hannibal. Don't forget the roads that connect Hwy 79 and Hwy 61 (C, P, Hwy41) they make nice loop rides.
Hwy 94 south to Washington back North on TT / T

Yea, we ride that a couple of times a year. I know there is a bridge out on 79 right now, but all that means is you wander the side roads awhile. lli. has some screwed up gun laws and that's one reason i don't do as much riding there .

Here is another good ride if your down in the Ozarks:

AHHHH...Peel Ferry. we take that route home most every time we go to AR. we stay on 125 all the way up and it comes out just south of Bolivar. miss all of Branson and Springfield! Usually stop at Smiths in Bolivar for a tenderloin!
