Missouri's MO-90 Loop

(176 mi; 4 hours 17 mins)

Although I didn't stop, Siloam Springs was having their annual Dogwood Festival at the time... maybe next year. This was a surprisingly good ride. I've been to Noel, MO before and expected the views along the Elk River and the bluffs that overhang the highway, but the ride East along MO-90 was not only fun with twisties, but was fairly scenic. The ride from Gateway, AR to Eureka Springs, AR is also a one of the tourist favorites in the area (unless you don't like curves on mountains). Eureka is a very popular biker spot and very biker friendly.

I've incorporated a new way of referencing maps. It does require JavaScript to be enabled in the browser to view it because it's not just a static map. If the entire route doesn't show up in the viewing window, just use your mouse pointer to grab the map and move it around like you would in Google Maps. Some of the maps also have comment tags where I've added some comments at specific points along the route. These maps are from a cool motorcycle route oriented Google "mashup" called MotoWhere?
