I am jumping in here, but if I am stepping on any toes, please put me back in my place without ANY issues. I HONESTLY will have no issues if this changes. I was just playing with Microsoft Streets and found a nice ride for all of us. It will take us on some nice open roads and a few twisties for the curve fans. THIS ROUTE IS NOT IN STONE so chime in if you want.
I plan on being at QT around 9:20-9:30. I will be on a Blurple 1800 Retro with an American Flag on back. The QT is on SOUTH 5th street, off I-70, not towards St. Charles, but head towards Family Arena. You wont miss Noah's Ark right next door! (I was going to make a rain comment here, but I don't want to offend anyone :>)
We have an option right away when we leave with our route. Honestly, 94 between 70 and 40 sucks with stop lights. I PROPOSE we get on I-70 for about 8 miles to Bryan Road (first exit past O'Fallon)for a straight shot (4-5 stop lights)South into Busch Wildlife area and great ridding. I know an incredible back way to Augusta and highway 94 with one of the best views of the river valley. If we want to take 94 from 70, that's cool also!
We will take 94 from St. Charles County through Augusta, Dutzow, and onwards towards highway 19 where we will cross the Missouri River into Hermann. Once we are in Hermann, someone get's to get us to the winery. I am not 100% sure which one we are going to.
After lunch, I propose we make a decision. Depending on how much wine we enjoy, Highway 19 north to 70 is our safe route. Keep the speedo at the legal speed and enjoy the ride. The fun ride, and one I will most likely do (unless the wine is REALLY good) will to return via 100 through Washington. I know a really nice way from Washington via Labadie and St. Albans back to Chesterfield. At 109 and 100, There is a nice gas station where if we split off into groups heading back to St. Charles, South County, Illinois, or any other place we all come from, we can part ways. This is a nice spot because you can access all major highways pretty easily from this spot.
At this point. We all head home ready for a nice nap with the ballgame on in the background.
Again, THIS IS JUST AN IDEA! I really don't mind being the leader on this one, but don't want to step on any toes (I do wear steel toes though) or have any issues.
Gotta go clean my bike!
