Cancelling this event. Seems like the date change killed all interest. We'll try again in the fall.
Based on a similar successful ride last August, a few of us are planning on going back to the Glenwood area of Arkansas again this May.
The plan is to arrive May 17th and possibly get an afternoon ride in. Ride the 18th and some more the 19th returning home the afternoon of the 19th.
We have a couple guys familiar with the area but no preset routes at present but we'll likely have some posted before the trip.
Last year we had 2 groups that essentially did the same route but at different speeds. We self divided into our desired pace and it worked pretty well. The overall route was big bike friendly (somewhat debatable but all seemed to have fun). The faster group had quite a few small bikes and they all seemed to have fun riding big bike friendly roads but at a bit faster pace. I'm still undecided if I'll take my WR450 or my R12GSA as both would be a lot of fun. If I trailer, I may take both.
Lodging: Base camp will be at Caddo Gap at Arrowhead Cabins and Canoe. http://www.caddocanoe.com (camping / cabins on the river). There are cabins or you can camp. It's a really great place and those that stayed there last time really enjoyed it. Alternatively, there are motels in Glenwood Ark, 8 miles away that are reasonably priced and will have more amenities. (Cabins have no cable or Internet if that matters to you.)
Update: Looks like most people are at either cabins or camping at Caddo Gap. This doesn't mean you have to be there, but unlike last year where we had about half the group at Caddo Gap and half in Hotels in Glenwood, this year looks like most are at Caddo Gap. It should be a fun time. Also...apparently, Arrowhead has a second camping area close to Glenwood? I'm not sure about that but if so, that is NOT where we'll be. We'll be at the Caddo Gap campground.
In for rescheduled 5-17-5/19 ride:

Some will be riding up and some trailering. Sharing campsites, motel rooms or cabins is welcome, but you need to make your own arrangements.
