Back Roads in SW Mo?

[Bob Morgan]

An old buddy of mine from High School wants to take his first shot at a dual sport. He and I rode trails together back then........... street too for that matter. I still don't know how we survived multi cylinder 2 stroke street bikes, but I'm off topic.

He lives in Springfield, and I'm in Topeka. It will be his first time on a bike in years, and I'll be putting him on the DR650.

I'm looking for some nice scenic back roads somewhere in the middle, and I haven't really ridden that area much.

Any suggestions or tracks would be appreciated.

I made a couple of tracks around Chadwick. Pavement, trails, dirt roads, and 2-track.

I don't know how to attach them here, but I can e-mail them to Troy and he can e-mail to you.

Cheers,

MrHix

Thanks!
That would probably be a good idea. I'm behind the curve on "tracks" and can only work with mapsource files.
Is that a possibility Troy?

[MrHix]

The tracks will be in a Garmin GPX file that will work with Mapsource or Base Camp.

Cheers,

MrHix

Another popular SW MO dualsport area is the Glade Top Trail area.

There is that guy from ADV Canonshot or something - he has some very solid routes all over southern MO and northern AR. If you cannot dig them up, let me know and I will do some Googling. They were fairly recent and he posts some really solid ride reviews with GPS attachments.

Thanks you guys!

I'm currently side tracked, but will get back on planning this ride soon.

If you get anywhere near Cookys Café in Golden City it is a worth while stop. The pie is worth the trip and the food is good too.
