Scenery

South side of the River Hwy 224 runs right next to the Missouri River where you'll get some good views of the river flowing. Later the road scenery changes (when you get on Hwy 10 & 210) to mainly farm country and some nice easy riding.

Drive Enjoyment

Minimal potholes on this trip. There are not a lot of turns but some curves. Overall its mostly easy riding.

Tourism Opportunities

This whole area is historic from Lewis & Clark, The Battle of Lexington (Civil War), Santa Fe Trail, to name a few. Nice smaller cities/towns to do some shopping along the way too.

One of the best rides I have been on, and two week ago, rode and found a sign saying the bridge would be done by mid April 2011. If someone knows more, it would be great to ride it once it is open.

Great ride, but currently (July, 2010) the bridge on Highway 224, about 2 miles east of Wellington, is being replaced and Highway 224 is closed at this location. Work has been slowed down on this project due to flooding by the Missouri River. Catch Highway 224 at Lexington and run the rest of the route from that point.
