I keep seeing green arrows and turn numbers on roads in Jefferson County. Where does this route start? how long is the route?

Green route: starts at Imperial commuter lot and heads north. Turn #1 is at Miller Rd. and will give you some good climbs. The route takes you to the covered bridge with gas stations and the park for liquids and restrooms (55.4 mile route).

Pink route: starts at Imperial commuter lot and heads north. Turn #1 is at Seckman Rd. and this route will take you into, Arnold, High Ridge, Byrnes Mill, House Springs and Barnhart before returning to Imperial. The neon pink markers seem to be fading quickly, especially #3 at the top of Frisco Hill. This route has a nice mix of flats with hills, awesome downhills if you enjoy descending with using brakes and scenic (68.8 miles).

I marked the routes and made maps for the group I ride with because there are several turns and riders can easily feel lost or like they made a wrong turn. The map colors matched the road markings. The maps also showed shortcuts in case anyone needed to cut a ride short.

Thanks. We ride out there a lot on many of the same roads. I may have to give your routes a try. They definitely take in all of the good spots.

Is there a weekly group ride that starts at Imperial?
