I used the route from Lee's Summit to Pleasant Hill suggested by Mark from Lee's Summit, and added the optional section on Outer 291 in order to avoid the busy highway. It's a good route.
The higher traffic sections had wide sidewalks designated as bikeways. And the drivers on the sections where I had to be on the road were the most respectful I have ever encountered.
Thanks, Mark!!
