Yep, I am REALLY looking forward to this ride!
My plan is to do the 500 mile route...then probably bail on US65 back to the barn for a total slightly over 400 miles. This looks like a REALLY GOOD ROUTE Scott!
My foldemuptype.map is programmed and ready to go... :yahoo:

Since I don't have a Garmin...yet...I will have to draft behind someone that does.
Have printed the route and will have my co-pilot slapping me when it's time to turn if everyone leaves me in their dust.

I haven't seen your route but I saw AR RT 23 mentioned. They are rebuilding 23 and there is only one lane open in the construction area. From Arkansas 10/16 newspaper:
...The route is known formally as Arkansas 23 but is commonly referred to as the Pig Trail. The state Highway and Transportation Department said Friday that the road will be restricted to one lane in places.
One work area is 18 miles north of Interstate 40. When work is done there, construction will shift to a second area 19 1/2 miles north of the interstate. ....

Didn't know that, well dang! Hopefully we will be there within a couple hours after we start, and if we start by 7:00 we should be to that point by 9:00 or so. maybe we'll be ahead of the traffic and wont have much of a delay!
Thanks for the heads up!

Hey James,
It is a sticker. About 3 1/2 inches in diameter with a clear coating so it can withstand the weather should you decide to strategically place on your ride (or another 'in the elements' location).
There were several other Floridians that were interested in attending...have you been able to chat with them?
We ran a good pace last time we were in the Ozarks together...sure hope you can make it over for this one. It will be even pacier...until we get to Oark. (FYI...Ellie May is working that Saturday!!!)

Well about the best I can do is this..............
For all "500" mile participants who complete the ride on time, not only is the TBA going to buy your dinner Saturday night, but the TBA has decided to award the first "Arkansas All Day" tropheys! Its a 4.5" x 6" clear acryllic shape of Arkansas with a small clear base (the kind that sits on your desk) It will have lasered into it Arkansas All Day

Early forecast shows Saturday and Sunday with the low in the mid 40's, high in the mid 60's, Sunny and 0 - 10% chance of rain! Woo Hoo!!! After this years SFO, we deserve a couple of Sunny and 65 degree weather ridin' days. Added bonus, the trees here in Mid Missouri are just now at peak. Should be really pretty next week in AR.
