'Twas a balmy 51 degrees at noon, clear and sunny when I fired up Traveller for a New Year's Day ride. I headed west on Missouri 94 which is the Lewis and Clark Trail which parallels the Missouri River. It also travels through Missouri Wine Country where some fine wines are produced from locally grown grapes. I crossed the Missouri River at Hermann Missouri which is ground zero for Missouri wine making. Hermann was founded by German immigrants in the 1800's and boasts some fine wineries and sausage shops. It is said that Hermann is where you can find the "best of the wurst". From Hermann. I continued on Missouri 100 which is also designated as the Lewis and Clark Trail as it too parallels the Missouri River except on the south side. Highway 100 terminates in Linn Missouri where I began my return journey eastward on US Highway 50. This is the same US 50 that is known as the "loneliest highway" in Nevada, but here in Missouri it ain't so lonely. All in all a wonderful 136 mile ride. Not many motorcyclist's out today as I only saw about 8-10 brave souls. Aside from some gusty winds from the south the weather was excellent. When riding thru Linn the bank thermometer read 58 degrees.
