Title: The Racetrack Road of Terror!
State: Kansas

Submitted By: Fluffy

Date Submitted: Apr 05

Motorcycle Type: 03 Honda Goldwing

Motorcycle Road Length:
10 Miles
 
Motorcycle Road Scenery:

      There are trees overhanging the entire route which makes you feel like you are riding on a closed course ... you really don't have time to look at the Scenery as you are way too busy just enjoying the ride.

 
Motorcycle Road Quality:
      The road surface is in excellent condition and the corners are all well marked ranging from 25 MPH to 40 MPH. The entire route is nothing but twisties and small hills. It will really get and keep your attention!
 
Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:
      The only thing along the way is Lakeside Speedway at the far Eastern end of the route and it is only open on Fridays in the Summer.
 
Directions:

      From the South end, the route is easy to find as it starts in Wolcott, KS which is just outside the north west corner of I-435 (the freeway that that loops around Kansas City, KS). If you're trying to get to Wolcott from Kansas City just find where I-70 and I-435 intersect (on the Kansas side)and go North on I-435 to the State Route 5 (AKA K-5) exit (exit #18) which will put you in Wolcott, KS. Then proceed North on State Route 5 (AKA K-5). The first miles is in the river bottom and straight as an arrow then the fun begins! You find the North end of this route by taking US 73 hwy south out of Leavenworth, KS until you see the large Ford dealership at the corner of US 73 and Kansas State Route 5 (K-5). Proceed East and within 1/2 mile the fun begins!

Continue north on Wolcott, look for signs for wyandotte county park/lake. Lots more twists and turns and awesome scenery.

What the others said, but ... BE CAUTIOUS! This can be a deadly piece of road for motorcyclists. Almost every riding season some rider buys the farm on this road. Pay close attention to the advisory speeds on the curves, and watch out for loose gravel--there are several intersecting gravel driveways that spew out loose gravel as a trap for riders. But don't let this keep you away, it really is a fun road to ride!

This is our little corner of heaven in Kansas. Seems like everytime we leave home (Leavenworth, KS) we take 5 Highway to get where we are going. It is a beautiful ride!!!

we ride highway 5 all the time! when taking Hwy 5 south, we pass by the I-435 crossing and keep going on the county road (rather than get on the interstate) and it turns into 98th street, then 97th street, and comes out on Leavenworth Rd (Hwy 5) near the Wyandot County Park entrance.
