I rode from Westwood Kansas to downtown St Louis with a trip to Illinois along the way via a ferry ride to Grafton from St Charles area then trails to StL. My goal was to traverse the entire state of Missouri. Anyway, you could ride from Union Station to Pleasant Hill and about half would be Trail. From Union Station ride 3.5 miles south to the Country Club Plaza then take the Brush Creek trail east as far as you can, near Brighton, then streets over to Arrowhead stadium where you begin the Rock Island trail which will take you through Lees Summit. From there the trail is not developed so you’ll be on lightly traveled streets to Pleasant Hill. Click the link above for my route which began on a holiday Monday (similar traffic to a Sunday) so traffic from KC to P Hill was very light. I rode from Westwood to P Hill as my day one ride and it was 36 miles I think. My wife picked me up and I slept at home that night due to no overnight lodging in P Hill (there is a AirBnB but it’s a two night minimum) The rest of my trip was about 70 miles per day.
