Same as I found. Looks good.

 

[Clif]

I'm in for either day.

I just did a Lotus club ride to Columbia and back and it was an awesome ride with only 3-4 miles of highway to cross the river on the way back. I can post the route when I get home tonight. I'm happy to lead as well if the comfort level is not there.

There are a bunch of cool outdoor spots downtown for lunch. I'd suggest Murray's, but I can only imaging the looks I would get in my leathers...

[desmoduo]

Here is the route I put together for the Lotus club. We can play with the route to include Femme Osage road and all that if we like. The route on the backside of Columbia is fantastic

[Gkwawer]

Jesse and Fred,

Can we do Fred's ride out and Jesse's ride on the way back, especially through the back side of Columbia?

[rlmenendez]

9.26 ride

That is fine by me. Hope the rain stays away. I think 3 1/2 hours to get there, maybe 4 hours. Ride home looks to be 5 to 6 hours. See you all Saturday.

Fred

 

[Gkwawer]

Rain date

Will the Sunday ride be the same route except for the stop at Jones Powersports?

 

[FredSmoot23]

9.27 ride

I am of the opinion that the Sunday ride would be basically out 94 to Hermann and then take 100 west to Linn and back on 50, ZZ, Y, YY, AJ, 50, BB, A, V, T, MM, 100, 109. What say the group?

Fred

 

[Gkwawer]

works for me. I am easy.

 

[desmoduo]

If Saturday doesn't work out, I have another commitment Sunday

 

[desmoduo]

Ok, since we're taking Fred's route in to Columbia, here is the rest of the route back. 179 is awesome, and 100 is really really good before Hermann, just ok after.

Where do we want to eat lunch???

From Jones...
Right on 163
Right AGAIN on 163 at the stop
Straight on Old Plank Road (turns into K)
Left on Grocery Branch Road (Hwy O)
Left on I-70 (relax, it’s only 6 Miles)
Left on 179 South (gas/pee break)
Left on Hwy 50 (boring a.k.a "opportunity to pose" for 23 miles)
Left on 100 (fun starts again)
Keep with 100 through Hermann
Hop on I-44 at Gray Summit
Find your way home!!!

The only thing I want to add is... RIDE AT YOUR OWN PACE!!! Safety first. I will hold at every intersection until I make contact with the tail gunner, no exceptions! There is no reason to ride outside your comfort zone. We are out here to have fun.

 

[masterrch]

its looking like Saturday's going to be a washout,whats the plan for Sunday?

 

[bicunica]

No ride for me. Broke right mirror and rear brake spring. Don't ask me how I did it! Maybe next week if I get the parts in. Have a safe ride.
