played hooke from work a couple days last week. On haloween friday I took a solo ride. Headed out with no destination, map or plan. I felt like riding till I saw mountains.... and colorado is hella far.... so I just took off aimlesly. Found some mountains afterall. Ozarks FTW :)
Route I ended up taking was some jeffco backroads from fenton to dittmer, then hwy Y south to 21. I kept on 21 south through potosi. I felt like going a little further south, and ended up pulling over for break at elephant rocks state park.
From there I took hwy 8 back through steelville, then 19 north to owensville and then hwy 50 back east to union. and indirect backroads through pacific and cedar hill on the way home to Fenton.
Great day, great route, great scenery, great roads, and a helluva lotta fun.
Nice to get away to ride my pace, take my route, stop where I felt like. Such a relaxing day... I highly reccomend it if you have the chance :D
photobucket shrunk my pics so the scale sucks and so does the color. as always pics ddont do it justice. PS... tried using the album section, and couldnt get it to work. What a hassle, esp for this mny pics. Mods please delete my blank album because im tired of trying to fuck with it.
I thought it was november here.... this is just from the leg of my trip between potosi and steelville... like 30 somethin miles? anyway I had the visor up for half that leg since I couldnt see. Ipicking bugs out of my beard for hours it felt like lol
from the scenic over look on 21 south in (i think) shenendoah valley. Those are the st francois mountains behind my bike
and walking around the nature trail at Elephant Rocks State Park. Look how bright orange this tree is. almost needed shades it was so bright
this is the wuarry that most of the bricks paving streets like lacledes landing and main st st charles and everywhere else came from.
This is why you play hookie from work
