Who's pulling the trailer? Everyone need to be aware Mena is a dry county. No Booze.
We are planning to be in Eureka Springs that week. We hope to see everyone somewhere.

Not sure anyone is but if that means you'll come....trailer it.

Dry county....huh?!  Well I'll be sure to bring my own. O0

Ok, so Ft.Smith is just down the road and the Comfort in next to Buffalo Wild Wings is only a few bucks more per night.   :thumbup:

Probably going to bring a bottle and a few cigars!!  Dry county or not, we can still have fun.  Does this Hotel have a rough and rowdy section?

We got a packet from the AR tourism board will all of the good bike rides listed out.  We are in the process of printing off maps and directions that we can hand out for everyone to have a copy of.  That should give us a lot of options on rides with information about food and fuel along the routes.

Looking forward to seeing your mapped rides.  The only one that we accomplished last time was the Pig Trail and we stopped by the Beaver Dam for a few pics.  I saw tons of roads that we didn't take.  Frankly, was afraid some of them would lead to trouble!!

Watch out for them 18-wheelers and cars on the curves too.  More than a few times making a corner had to re-adjust because someone was using both lanes.  On the Double-U turn the 18-Wheelers had the entire lanes blocked and there were three in a row stacked up...going uphill.  I would hate to be a truck driver on that road....serious.  Fun to watch though.

Mena,  AR

Oct Average Weather
Average High: 72°F
Average Low: 48°F
Avg. Mean Temp: 60°F
Average Precipitation: 6.00 in.
Record High: 94°F (1956)
Record Low:  20°F (1993)

Goodness, what to pack?  Definitely need some good rain gear folks!!  We rode for over 100 miles in it on our way up there in July. Good thing is, the roads don't get slick because they are constantly getting washed off.
