Missouri Life magazine has announced two new routes for the 2018 “Big BAM” (Bicycle Across Missouri) tours– with one of them passing through the KMMO listening area.
“Big BAM” on Route 66 will be June 17-22, and hundreds of cyclists will ride 312 miles beginning in Joplin, with overnight stops in Willard, Lebanon, Waynesville, Cuba, and finishing in Eureka.
“Big BAM” on the Katy Trail will be October 7-12, which begins in Clinton, with overnights in Sedalia, Boonville, Jefferson City, Hermann, and end in St. Charles, after riding about 240 miles.
In 2017, about 600 cyclists crossed Missouri, and the same number or more is anticipated for Route 66 BAM. The Katy BAM is limited to 500 riders.
