Saw these routes in another forum. I haven't made these runs myself. Started in Eureka Springs.
62e to 21s to 74w to 23s(got gas at mulberry) then went 23n back to eureka. about 150 miles

23s to 74e (21e, 43n)back to 74e into jasper(gas). Then 7s to 123n then ate lunch in Jasper(gas). Then 7s to 123s to clarksville(gas in Lamar). Then 103n to 215e(new pavement!!!!!!!!! no more dirt!!!) to 23s (gas at mulberry) the 23n back to eureka. About 350 miles.

Eureka is a good place for your base rides, reasonable priced rooms and biker friendly.
Bubbas BBQ has great bbq on the west end of town and I think a place called catfish cabin on the eastside has great catfish.
Unfortunatly the fall season in Ak runs about the same as KC and most of the trees will have begun to be drab and leafless.
I usually find myself down in the area 2-3 times, all the roads are great to ride.

I've ridden both of those routes, and they're excellent!! Either on the way down or on the way back, detour thru Roaring River--nice curves and worth the drive...You can pick it up in Cassville or Seligman, MO.

In Eureka, be sure to visit the Pied Piper downtown on 23. Very biker-friendly.
