I rode from Kansas City to the Pedaler's Jamboree and back this year. From Lone Jack to Sedalia, I rode on US-50. Eastbound, 95% of the way, the shoulder was wide and rumble strips provided comfort that the cages stayed to the left of the white line. Westbound, it was more than 99%. The worst of the ride was MO-150 East of Greenwood. There were several trucks passing us on this twisty, hilly, 2-lane, no shoulder stretch of road. I recommend the use of a mirror for this type of riding. My current favorite is the Take A Look Cycling Eyeglass Mirror.
