MO 76 between Shell Knob and Cassville, Barry County (same road as candidate 13).
Cassville to Reeds Spring rides like a roller coaster, with constant ups and downs and curves that can be taken at a comfortable pace on good pavement. Much of it runs through national forest, with a crossing of an arm of Table Rock Lake near Cape Fair.

03Missouri 19
MO 19 between Salem and Eminence through the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
Long, linked, banked corners and elevation changes carry the road through the Ozark National Scenic Riverways and Mark Twain National Forest. Riders say the stretch south of Salem has the best scenery in the state, especially when the leaves turn.

04Missouri 112
MO 112 between Seligman and Roaring River State Park, Barry County.
A winding road lined with hardwoods drops from Seligman toward Roaring River State Park, with sweeping turns and a couple of steep dips. Fall color is the draw, and bald eagles winter in the area.

05Missouri 34
MO 34 between US 60 and MO 49 in Reynolds/Wayne County, west of Piedmont.
Corners come almost without a break between US 60 and Highway 49, with only a few straights. The pavement is described as smooth and grippy, helped by a recent repaving of the eastern end.
