A little Arkansas ridding

[Iceman Jack]

Last Thursday morning I packed up and headed out for Ozark,Arkansas for a little dual sport stuff with seven friends.
The weather was nice and sunny Thursday but that was soon to change. I arrived at the hotel at 2:50 PM and was ready to ride by 3;15. Me and my friend Norman DeLamar took of with no plans. Just find a trail and take off and see where you ended up. Norman and I finished off the day doing 60 miles that evening.Most of it virgin,or near virgin trails with a few miles of dirt roads. Sorry but no pictures of the first day.

Friday morning it was cooler,very humid with some precipitation . We headed out at 9:00 AM for the first group ride. The first 16 miles was pavement...........then the fun started.

Friday morning gearing up.

More picture later..............I gotta go make a buck.



After 16 miles of pavement and a few miles of dirt,our first stop to check our directions. It was a little foggy on top of the mountain to say the least!

Me running my mouth about something?

Hold it.....let me take a picture of you taking a picture.

Hey Norman,where'd the trail go?

 

[The Bruce]

Nothing but red x. I'd like to see more AR back roads.

 

[Iceman Jack]

There were water crossings.............

Water falls

And....even some MUD HOLES

And this sucker was deep! Bruce did a nice Superman over the bars when he hit this one!

Well tell me Mr Furnival,where'd all that mud come from?

Yikes! Sometimes the holes don't look like all that much until after they eat a bike.

Seven other guys went to the right to go through that hole. Not Bruce,he wanted to be different I guess? It cost him. But, I have a feeling he was going down no matter which wheel hit that hole first.

Bruce in the far background praying that he doesn't find another nud hole!

Don't ask me,all I know is it was harry and smelled bad,but the butterflies and green flies liked it!
I won't mention any names,but one of our group thought it was a stick........NOT.

Along this dirt road we found one Big/A hole in the ground. It had to be at least 60 feet to the bottom.

One step past that tree and you're history!
