I-70 west thru Kansas City

Ciiffy, you can also go that way to avoid downtown traffic. This would be my alternate route:
Westbound I-70 to N I-435 to Westbound MO 152. That will reconnect to Southbound I-435 then down to I-70 west. It's all 4 lane divided highway. Longer but less stressful once past Worlds of Fun.
But the I-70 to I-670 route is still more direct.

Actually, I do not have to reconnect with I70 as I am eventually going to SD for bike week. Since this is only my 2nd or 3rd time going any distance, I want to avoid larger urban areas as much as possible. I would really prefer to take US highways all the way but I really like the convenience of the interstate system just not the traffic.

Thanks for your insight, it is really appreciated.
