Default Missouri riding, need suggestions

I have a ride planned to Wisconsin the week after labor day weekend. Leaving Friday Sep 5th about 1pm live in north central Iowa. I want a backup plan in case the weather in WI doesn't cooperate. I was thinking we would be able to go down to central Missouri. I would like to scope out the Jefferson City area. Looks like there might be a few rides from there? My wife might take a job there in the next couple of years so it would be a great opportunity to scout the area and see if it stacks up and check out the riding!

We basically have a travel day Friday the 5th and want to ride all day Sat and Sunday (6th and 7th). We need to end up a reasonable distance to home on the end of Sunday. I think within 300 miles would be nice. Home base is Fort Dodge, IA.

Too bad it's not the week after that...you could enjoy the Lake Ozark bike rally at Osage beach...just south if Jefferson City.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is very popular for riding. It's a couple hours south; that part of MO is pretty nice.
