From I-70 take K-99 South to Alma (get some Alma Cheese!!!). At the South end of Main street take a right onto Old 10 Road. Follow it to Alta Vista. From Alta Vista you can continue to I-70 by Turning right (West) on K-4 to Hwy 177. Turn right on 177 and follow it North to I-70.

Scenery

There is a lot of history along this route if you have time to look. Old farmsteads, flint rock fences, creeks, woodlands and prairie. In the early morning and late evening you have to keep a sharp eye out for deer, coons, opossums and other small critters. It is worth the ride to and from to see this road.

Road Quality

It is a sport bike's dream without the up-keep. No major potholes or obstructions but watch for the occasional patch or chipseal. The road has a ton of curves and the bumps we call "hills" in Kansas. It is an old road that pretty much follows the contour of the land.

Roadside Amenities

There is a station at either end of the road in Alma and Alta Vista but be there during the 8-5 hours, they roll up the sidewalks early.

Comment: "Sport bike's dream", I don't think so. This road is older asphalt and since it doesn't get much traffic there is little bits of gravel everywhere and occasional large patches of gravel. So as an avid sport bike rider I give this road a bad rating however it is a gorgeous ride and very scenic. I would definitely recommend to any cruiser, touring rider, or a sport biker that is looking for a slow pretty view. I actually saw a couple of foxes while on this road.
