Favorite rides?
 
So STL MINI folks,

What is your favorite stretch of road around these parts to go crusing in you MINI?

the "letter" roads of SW St. Charles county are pretty good. Defiance / Marthasville / Dutzow / New Melle area are some of my favorites. Wildwood west, take county T through Labadie of MO100. MO94 is a nice drive, actually from Defiance to Jeff City, with hilly/curved parts and then some nice cruising in between. Just avoid weekends when it's crowded and when folks are leaving the wineries.

If you're making a day of it, Hwy 19 from Eminence north is a delight; about 35 miles of posted-30 curves and hills. So is MO106 from Eminence to Ellington (at MO21 junction), but more of a scenic drive through woods, not much development or traffic. Letter roads in those counties also are generally a lot of fun; you're in a hilly part of the state, so minor roads go up/down/around. That makes for great motoring!

HTH. I have the motorcycle passion also, so much of the fun-to-ride places translate into great motoring roads. Google "motorcycle roads" for a location and you'll usually get some good ideas of what would be fun to try.

Old Lemay Ferry in Jefferson County, and just about any road that connects to it.

I just found this great road called Old Wild Horse Creek Rd over in Chesterfield. It's super easy to get to as well, take 64/40 to Chesterfield Airport/Long Rd, and basically keep going straight along the road until it turns into wild horse creek rd. The twisties are on average speed limit of 30 so it's a little slow but when I went there was barely any traffic. The end of the road connects over to Highway 100 as well.
Check it out! I think you guys won't be disappointed.
