BlueLightning,
I was planning to go out and map out the route through Missouri with more information. I got a bit of it, south of St. Louis, then had an electrical issue with my CX (I ended up replacing the stator). Now that the bike is running again, I planned to go out, but this week I pulled a hamstring muscle at work and I am on limited activity, per Dr.'s orders!
Waiting for my leg to heal up before I take out the bike again.
If you need details for IL/MO I can help you out. PM me and I can get you through the state. May be able to meet up for a stretch of riding if it works out.
