Old Route 66 entering Carterville, MO
Sometimes after work when the weather is nice I like to go for a bike ride. Lately my route of choice is to ride up old 66 through carterville and webb city, and then jump on the Frisco trail and ride it to the south end…which ironically is at North Street. It’s about 20 miles and takes an hour and a half if I don’t stop.
I usually plan to stop and enjoy the scenic area near the bridge over Turkey Creek, but I don’t think I ever have. By that point in the ride I am in a groove and just want to keep going. I like the frisco trail a lot and I think it’s a valuable asset to area residents.
