Does anyone know the safest bike route from Clinton to KC? I will be biking cross-state late May, from STL to KC. I'd like to avoid the major highways, but that might not be feasible. Any feedback would be immensely helpful.

Don't know the backroads in that area. But your route might depend on whether you're stopping over in KC specifically, or if you're just wanting to get past it to the Kansas side. Assuming you're taking the Katy Trail from St Louis, Highway-7 NW out of Clinton has a shoulder to ride on. From it, one can catch several highways west, including Highway-2 just south of Harrisonville. Otherwise, check the maps best you can.

Hwy 7 is divided hwy but not expressway. Shoulders are wide and is probably safest way to get close to KC. HYW13 north out of clinton has no shoulders and is pretty hilly; you'd be toast on this road.

stay safe, peddle fast!
