The Route

Hi all so ive gotten some interest in the route im going to take from Missouri into Texas. Let me say first though that ive changed this route many times and i may yet change it again. Ive gotten some help from the good people over at the http://www.bikeforums.net Nice people check it out. they have long distance trips as well as paths to ride thru your own city. All i did was ask and they responded with kind words and help.

So the first route was going to be from St Louis along the Great River Roads intersecting with the MRT. I changed that to the Katy trail route starting at St Charles Missouri going into Clinton Missouri. From there i was going to go cross state to Springfield and take a route from Sprinfield to Denison Texas. From there all i needed was a route from Denison to Goodrich. Now i find out i can do a google map search with no major highways! Didnt know this was possible. So the route may change yet again.

The google route looks more direct and will take me thru Arkansas, Louisiana and right into Texas. I may still take a trail here and there but if there is a more direct route i plan on taking it. Whats interesting about the google map is that it takes you on the first leg of the trip right along the Mississippi River Route or at least the general direction of. So i could ride the trail then switch to the roads before i leave Missouri.

Ive still doing research. I have a week of nothing but waiting. And we all know how i am at that so im going to do research and go to library and print out any and all maps i can find. LOL So to all you out there following this is what i have for now. If you know of a route leave a comment and i will check it out!

And were waiting..........
