I'd like to know the easiest way by bicycle from the Katy Trail in or near Pilot Grove to Arrow Rock with the least traffic. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Since no one else spoke up, I'll try. The most direct route with the least traffic would be:

Route M north out of Pilot Grove, once M crosses I-70 it turns west. Continue west on M to Route K. Take K north through the town of Blackwater (worth a visit - http://www.blackwater-mo.com/) to route 41. Take 41 north to Arrow Rock.

I have driven route M north of I-70, though it has been several years (I grew up in the area). It has very little traffic and I suspect that traffic volume between I-70 and Pilot Grove would be light as well. Route K has light traffic also. You would probably encounter more traffic on 41, but I would not hesitate to ride on it, in fact I hope to ride to Arrow Rock some day. This route will have hills and curves. I would dress for visibility and listen closely for approaching vehicles.

I would not recommend riding highway 135; it carries the majority of the traffic between Boonville and Pilot Grove.
