2nd Annual Ride
Our 2nd Annual ride features a new route with less gravel and a great scenic ride connecting the Frisco and Katy Trails!
The scenery in October will be at it's peak and you will enjoy a great ride through this rural area just waiting to be explored! Riders can start in either Bolivar,
Clinton or points along the way for a ride that fits your expertise! Osceola, about half way, will host an After Party (for some it will just be half way)
on the Osceola Square that will commemorate the 2nd Annual Ride with music and food from 11am to 3pm. La Casita Mexican Restaurant will be serving food on the square
(weather permitting) and inside the restaurant.
A Ride for Everyone
What makes this ride unique is there are several start options depending on your expertise! Not up for the full 86.2 miles? Start somewhere in between
and end in Osceola for a shorter ride! Start in Humansville and ride to Osceola for a total of 21.7 miles! Looking for something longer?
Bolivar-to-Clinton-to-Bolivar will give you a 172.4 mile ride with overnight accommodations available in Clinton, Osceola and Bolivar. Start in
Clinton, Bolivar or points in between and end in Osceola or continue on, it's your ride!
OH CRAP
The Osage Hills Connection Route After Party (OH CRAP) will feature live music on the square and a day of fun cheering arriving riders from Clinton, Bolivar and
points in between to Osceola. For some Osceola will be the mid-point, for others Osceola will serve as the end point. All will enjoy the sights, sounds
and food of Osceola! Part of the Chamber's Fall Music Series
this will feature an afternoon show with live music from Randy Polson on the
Osceola Square from 11am to 2pm!

About This Ride
This route was developed by some dedicated riders to
connect the Frisco Trail in Bolivar to the Katy Trail in Clinton. This has turned into a project involving 3-counties and a multi-city area working together to promote
biking and this route in Southwest Missouri and beyond! This ride was developed to promote the route, get riders and their feedback and eventually get permanent
signs installed along the route. All proceeds from this ride are going to be used to promote the route and get signage installed! By
participating in or sponsoring the ride you are bringing your support to this project!
Day of Ride
Registration on starts at 8am on October 7th in Clinton and Bolivar, T-Shirts & swag bag pickup will be in Osceola in Osceola. Shirt Cutoff will be September 20th.
