The way points of this bicycle route:
Ride starts in the parking lot at the northeast corner of Olive and Booneville. Plenty of free parking.
Just starting to get warmed up and meet the new riders
Still in the middle of Springfield but usually it is early and traffic isn't a problem
Some quick turns here so keep an eye out. Hope there isn't a train to hold you up
Past the pet cemetery and heading for the country
Riding along side the Frisco Highline Trail here. If you are on a hybrid or have wider tires, give it a try
Start of a nice rolling loop to add some extra miles
Some rolling hills through here but beautiful scenery to take your mind off it
60 mph speed limit on in to town but good sight lines
Be sure and stop at Willie B's at Hwy 160 and Route F for some great pancakes.
Finally a longer stretch where you can get it rolling
Mind the downhill and the sharp turn at the bottom
Pulling back into Willard and traffic picks up again
Traffic starts to pick up more as you pull into Springfield
Time to start talking about the next ride and thank Ralph for planning the route
Stop by Queen City Cycles on your way home and pick up some lube or tubes and talk about the great ride!
