With extended ping, which you must have already figured out since you know pinging with the loopback works. When you just do a normal ping the router uses the closest interface to the one you're pinging. You can't change that. > Or cant I change this?

Routing back to the loopback seems to already be working. What you need to fix is the fact that the other routers don't seem to have a route to your serial interface. That should relatively easy to fix.
