A few of us from the Springfield and Jacksonville area are coming down for this ride --- we normally would be at Tour of Hermann that weekend but were looking for something different Anything that helps the puppies and kitties is a win in my book

I've not ridden this one yet. I almost see it as a Beautiful Southern replacement ride.

It's easier than the Beautiful Southern Illinois ride, imo.

Less hillier?

Ride to the SKy is 54 miles and about 3000 feet climbing, while Beautiful Southern was 63 and 4000 feet. So a bit easier unless you're trying to keep up with the front group.
