Hey 1st timer-My brother and I rode from Clinton to Boonville our first time. Constant peddling, wich is good exercise. We wanted a recreational ride, and wish we had gone from Sedalia to Clinton. 2nd time out, we went from Rocheport to Hartsburg. Now that was a nice ride. 300 ft bluffs on one side, the mighty MO on the other. I am of the opinion there isnt a bad place to start on the MKT. Do get a pocket map pamphlet though, so you can kinda keep track of where you are. Enjoy.
