[QUOTE="stealth1, post: 837712, member: 16192"] Unfortunately I won't make SFO this year. The weather forecast was so good last week, I jumped the gun and rode to Russellville last Tuesday and spent three nights at the Best Western there. I got back yesterday afternoon, tired, happy and with very little rubber left on my PR2's. I don't think they would have taken another day. Most roads were in great shape and traffic was very light. A couple of road notes; Paving should be finished on 215 between Cass and Oark by the time SFO starts. There is no dirt section now but I did have to ride a section with fresh oil that was being prepped for top coat of asphalt. I've always liked that road and it should be even better now. On the way home I rode Hwy 16 from Pelsor to Greers Ferry.As always 16 has a few spots of broken or rough pavement. Evidently they had a lot of snow this winter and responded with aggressive sand spreading. Long section still have lots of sand and it seems to collect in the corners. Seemed like Pope county was the leader in sand distribution. It actually started on 123 west of Pelsor and continued eastward until you got to the Van Buren county line. Since SFO is in late May maybe most of it will be gone by then. The ride to the top of Mt. Nebo is short but convenient to Russellville. Good practice for extremely tight and steep turns. The ride over Mt. Magazine was nice too with great overlooks at the top. Have fun and hopefully I will be back next year. [/QUOTE]
