- Highway 19 is awesome anytime of the year, especially around Eminence. - Anonymous (4/27/13)
- SR 19 from Hermann to Thayer is an outstanding biking road. Endless sweepers and lovely scenery. I rode in early Spring and loved the flowering trees, small towns and views. - Bryan (5/2/11)
- MO19 is a blast to ride! The best sections are: Cherryville to Salem (a great place to break for lunch); Salem to Eminence, with dozens of smooth-asphalt turns marked 35mph and so many changes in elevation as you ascend / crest / descend the many ridges in this area; and then Winona to Thayer, where the curves are generally replaced with roller-coaster hills that can compress and top your forks at the speed limit. Weekdays are likely best in canoeing season, Eminence being a hub for river sports during the summer and especially weekends. - Anonymous (3/2/09)
- SR 19 from Rolla to Steelville I would class as an intermediate level road with a couple very low speed corners, some off camber turns while dealing with blind corners and elevation changes. From Cuba (I-44) going North is filled with nice sweeping curves and great visibility. A great scenic 'wine country' ride. Enjoy. - Anonymous (11/5/07)
