This is a 36 mile crushed-gravel rail-to-trail that runs between Springfield and Bolivar Missouri.
We were riding the trail out and back for a little over 70 miles and had planned on riding it over a two day period. The weather forecast was predicting rain for the second day so we decided to ride it all in one day. I only made it back to within 6 miles of our truck for a total of 65 miles. At about the 50 mile mark my back started bothering me and got so bad that I was stopping every mile or so to lay flat on the trail to get some relief. Nova went the whole 70+ miles to the truck and came back to get me.
This is a nice riding trail with most of it being in the trees. This ride would probably be most enjoyable as the trees are turning.
