Probably should run this on up to somewhere (Weston?) on the Lewis&Clark.

930 miles (1500 km). Back roads (or paths) where ever possible, shoulders otherwise.

Pither,
Have you ridden this or are you asking about it or are you presenting it? I am from Oklahoma and would probably not use several parts of the route in NE OK due to traffic, the road conditions and/or topography on certain road, or lack of services. It is a scenic route however.
If you are asking about a route, I have a route that goes from Brownsville, TX (on border with Mexico) to Winnipeg that I did several years ago. Primarily on low-traffic count roads with services. I call it the "Tailwind Express" since you have a very good chance of a tailwind for most of the route. The big negative is that you have a somewhat tight window to do it in unless you like the high temps of deep south Texas.
Tailwinds, John

Ah, cycletouring Texas south of San Antonio/Corpus Christi. I assume you were doing penance for some evil deed? ;)

West of Ft. Hood rather than east. About 40 miles shorter, but you miss some pretty country and two big lakes.
