    Howdy,

    I'm new to the Farmington, MO area & looking for info on good DS routes.

    I have a 2000 Kaw SuperSherpa & enjoy getting off of the black top.

    I visited St. Joe SP this weekend briefly. Looks like a cool place.

    Recommendations on other cool places?

    Thx.

    Midwest trail riders have an open riding area at bixby mo. ridemtra.com
    russ has a 8 mile loop at his property and you can leave his house and ride a bunch of a mix of single track,2 track,fire and gravel roads. briggs@studiocz.com

    St joe sucks you have to deal with the quadtards and chewed up trails.

    Hey there, Welcome to the area. I live west of there in Caledonia. There is a ton of gravel roads south and west of me. What kind of schedule do you keep? We could get together and take a ride. Later Joe

    Find the Swinging Bridges thread for some routes west of you and watch the MO adventure riders thread. There is some near Potosi and west and south.

    Thanks for the input.

    I'll check it out.

    Regarding schedule: I usually ride early on Saturday mornings. I'm booked the next few weeks but I'll give a shout when it looks like I'm going to get to ride.

    I'm free to do some riding this saturday.

    Anyone interested?

    Full disclosure: I'm not looking to win any trophies. I'm just a middle-aged geek who likes to ride motorcycles. :ricky
