Hmmmm, favorite places to ride??? Good question. So many roads, so little time!!!
Locally, I'd have to say Mo. State Hwy. 94 from Weldon Spring, Mo. to Hwy 19 in Hermann, Mo. Locally this is known as "wine country" and Hwy 94 made Reader's Digests list of Most Scenic Drives. There are plenty of other great roads locally, but I probably do this more than any other.
To expand on the "locally" part, Hwy 19 south (from Hermann) all the way to the Arkansas state line is probably my favorite road to ride. Well maintained 2 lane with lots of twisties!!! And beautiful scenery to boot!! Goes through the Ozark National Scenic Riverways region, which is awesome, and through sections of the Mark Twain National Forrest. Which ain't bad either.
I probably shouldn't mention it since I don't remember hwy #s, etc... and I'm too lazy to look them up, but all across the northern part of Arkansas from Mtn. Home, thru the Bull Shoals area, tracing the Buffalo River over to Eureka Springs is also very nice.
The Mother Road/Old Rte 66. While traveling to SE Kansas to visit my mom and brother I like to get off the interstate (I44) as much as possible. That's when I look for sections of the old highway. Pretty interesting to think of travel back when that was the
main east-west highway. Have also been on sections of Rte 66 in Ill., Kansas and Oklahoma.
On a larger scale, further from home, I'd have to say Spearfish Canyon and Iron Mtn. Road in the Black Hills of S.D. are some of the "not to miss" roads I've been on. Really anywhere in the Black Hills is pretty amazing. Also the Smoky Mtn. National Park and surrounding area is very nice.
Maybe I shouldn't include these since I haven't ridden them yet, but on our upcoming trip (we leave in 17 days!!!) we'll be riding to Yellowstone. Along the way, while in Cody, Wy. we'll do a day-ride on the Beartooth and Chief Joseph Scenic Hwys, which look like they are going to be unbelievable rides. We'll also be doing a day-ride through the Gand Teton National Park into Jackson, Wy., into Idaho to see Mesa Falls and back to Yellowstone. And time (and weather) permitting, on the way home we're planning on riding through the Rocky Mtn. National Park. Should be an awesome trip!!!
I know I'm leaving out a bunch of other very nice roads/rides, but this is already longer than I'd intended, so I'll wrap it up here. Like I said; so many roads, so little time!!
In The Wind,
