Convenience stores
There are several C-stores along the route where you can use the restroom, get water, or buy a snack. See map [PDF format] for location.

Meals
Pre- and post-ride, there are several restaurants within 1/2 mile of the ride starting point.

We do encourage you to patronize local businesses while you are visiting Callaway County for the ride.

About the Routes
The BikeMO routes are three of the most beautiful loops through rural, scenic Mid-Missouri. Most of the routes are on low-traffic, two-lane country roads. Most of the route can be described as gently rolling hills and some segments are quite flat. But every so often there are some really steep or substantial hills–for instance on the segment of the Century route between Readsville and Fulton, and the section of the 40-mile route on Highway H.

Along the way
The route passes through or along many sections of the Mark Twain National Forest and wildlife conservation areas–for instance, the route passes through, along, or near the Pine Ridge Campground, the Cedar Creek Trail, Carrington Pits Recreation Area, the Cedar Creek Unit of Mark Twain National Forest, the Little Dixie Lake Conservation Area, the Prairie Fork Conservation Area, the Reform Conservation Area.
