favorite drives around kc

Well drove the Hwy H to Hwy O....I must say O was a lot better than H hwy. Tons of turns elevation changes ..... It's about 11 miles long and worth a drive. You should be able to hit every corner around 60mph+

. It has probably 10 25mph turns and about 7 or 8 30mph turns.

Going to try out some more next weekend if the weather is good.

Oh by the way DON'T take Z hwy at the end of O hwy in Orrick. It dead ends and the pavement ends

to a gravel road. Plus Z hwy is a real rough road....

Rode the Highway H to O route today. Having a co-pilot next to you to call the turns certainly helps when you're approaching a blind turn just over the hill. Props to my wife for doing a great job calling route info.

We took it slow and had a 24:39 time. Unfortunately, there are a few areas that will easily put you behind traffic, and a few others where it just doesn't feel "safe" to speed through. However I didn't stop the clock for those areas. I could definitely see shaving off some time the next time I run it. Lots of fun, excellent route suggestion.

Did you run just the H hwy? Or did you hit both? I know H was full of traffic the day I drove and O hwy had 1 car at hwy 10 and after that it was pedal to floor.

I ran both around 2pm today. Time was from a complete stop. The last leg of H after it goes through town, I was stuck behind about 8 cars, and ended up overshooting O. Hwy O had a dump truck on it, and he managed to be in a spot where I couldn't pass. (I don't cross double lines.)

i'll go first:

state highway H from Liberty to Excelsior (the road liberty hills golf course is on)

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=S...ra=ls&t=m&z=13

very fun drive and very technical. can't warn enough to not get cocky on this road. those 90 degree bends u see on the map are actually curves. gets really fun when u get close to excelsior. only thing u gotta look out for is slowing down thru pathersville (blink and u will miss it)

Just did this drive today and it felt good. No kidding about those 90 degree curves....and pathersville...??? Never remember seeing a sign for that town
