Written Directions

Find Hermann Missouri (about 60 miles due west of St. Louis) and head south on hwy 19 all the way to Winona.

Scenery

I doubt you will find better scenery anywhere in Missouri. It's especially great once you get south of Salem and especially in the fall after the leaves change.

Drive Enjoyment

Lots of twists and turns, and ups and downs. None are tight enough to scare a novice, but there's plenty of grin factor. Well paved and traffic is light!

Tourism Opportunities

Plenty of unique restraunts and plenty of places to pull off and admire the scenery. Including a few state parks.

I love this ride and make it a point to hit it at least once a year. Keep in mind the southern portion of this route (south of I-44) has many campgrounds and floating/rafting outposts along the way. So beware of the occassional minivan with a family of 7 hauling a camper twice it's size. I've learned to either hit this road in the early hours on Sat/Sun or stick to a week day.

Continue the road on to Van Buren area. That stretch is definitley worht it. I have told many folks about 19. Cycle World even rated it top 10 one year.

I've ridden this route 6 times. The 1st trip I thought I was really handling the curves in a brisk manner. That was until I got passed by a school bus hauling a trailer of canoes. A very scenic route with enough ammenities.
