I'll have to check that out sometime! I've looked at doing that road before, but continuing on Highway T to Labadie. Looks like a fun road that cuts through the river hollows, at least from Google Maps.

My wife & I hit the wineries out on 94 a couple times a year, and I've always thought that the stretch from Matson to Dutzow was a fantastic stretch of road. So long as it's not packed with wine tour buses, which it is on many spring/fall weekends. But on a quiet weekend, it's great. It's not quite the real Dragon (done that a few times... ), but it's a worthy drive with plenty of corners & elevation changes.

Matson, MO to Dutzow, Charrette, MO - Google Maps

There are actually a ton of quiet & sweet little roads over along the Missouri river. Lots to explore.

If there's ever a group that wants to do a wine run out to Hermann and back, let me know. I know some good places.

that sounds like a great time! my dad and I usually hit 94 every couple of months. like you said, if you can find a quiet weekend to go out (or EARLY), it's a blast. it's usually pretty crowded though.

we want to keep the spots we meet at fresh, so after this next gathering, we're definitely open to trying something new. a winery weekend sounds like fun.

Another fun one is HYW T just below by St. Alban's. Good amount of elevation changes and longs sweeping turns.

I might go drive HWY T this weekend and break the swifts in so I can get an alignment next week.

You will have to let me know how you like the swifts. I am thinking about a set. Wife does not really want me to lower the car though. Hell we do scrape the plastic things in front of the wheels going into our driveway!

So far, the ride is as comfortable as stock, and there is a noticeable decrease in body roll. I scrape if I pull my car into my driveway forward (scraped at stock height as well). If I back in, I'm ok. My driveway has the usual 3-4" dip/slope at the end of it.

I'll report back after an alignment and a few more miles

Our driveway is exactly the same. Can't take it straight in. Have to angle it to keep it from touching.

That sounds fun, me and my wife have been talking about doing that for some time, but are always so busy.
