Favorite route in STL Area...

Since we all in the STL region. I have to ask, Where are your favorite route's to drive around here? Mine is a fun drive from 94 & 40 to New Melle to Femme Osage, Augusta through Defiance back up to 94 and 40... A good little drive on a Sunday morning with windows down, to get the full experience

Thats my favorite route, What about everyone else?

This is a fun route. Two alternatives I take on this route, take "D" to Marthasville, cut across to Dutzow, and come back "TT". The second alternative is to take Schuelersberg Road from 94 to "F" to back on 94.

Watch for deer crossing the road this time of year!

Cheers,
EB

Try 185

I just did a route I usually do on two wheels that is a great ride. I live in Wildwood and went south out of Pacific on N. Pick up O then cut across (I think it was T to A - but not sure. You pick up 185 and then go north. This is the good part. Then cut across at K (I think) which eventually lead back to N. This was all south of 44. 185 is a great road for twisties - just stay north of Potosi. Lots of other good roads south of 44 heading west.

Pretty much any road with a letter name, 2 letter roads are even better

i am from montgomery city which is kinda by hermann. i used to take my srt4 down on rt J out of Mineola to Big Spring, Then K out of bigspring to rt D by the Calloway Nucular Power Plant if anyone knows where that is. then you tat D to O and into Mocane. after getting to mocane i take 94 to Jefferson city and then hwy 50 to Linn. When you get to linn you take hwy 100 back to hermann and then hwy 19 back to montgomery city.

now for when i am out on my motorcycle i take some back roads out of montgomery to troy. then just take 47 over to winfield and cross the ferry into illinois. i dont know the road names but we take alot of crooked blacktop roads and make our way into grafton after crossing an ill. state ferry over the ill. river just north of grafton. after that we either take the river road back to alton and cross into mo on the new bridge and come back onto 270 and go home on 70 or we cross the ferry at grafton and take 94 back into st.charles to 70.

with living here in Columbia we head there every now and then. we take 70west to HWY179 and head south to NN. You take it West to N and you end up at HWY 87. Then we take it south thru California and then to Eldon. Then once in eldon we head west thru town and head south on Y. we take it until W and take it all the way until we cross over the Dam!
