Yes, thanks! It looks like the people with big bikes had "fun" on that section.

Oh Come On Jarret!!! It was Fun!It was one of those things that was fun after you did it, but not so much fun during.
You guys are awesome. I’d love to join you for the next attempt. But I’ll bring the little bike. Am I good for the rest of the loop?Oh Come On Jarret!!! It was Fun!
You’ll be fine! Polk RD 70 probably isn’t very Big Bike Friendly! But you mentioned You were a Modest B Rider (moderate off-roader or something to that effect, so your probably Sand Bagging.. LOL!)You guys are awesome. I’d love to join you for the next attempt. But I’ll bring the little bike. Am I good for the rest of the loop?
It was all I had to stay awake driving home to Houston. You made the right decision or would have needed to stay an extra night.Yeah, I'd love to do that route again on my 450. I suspect "Cherry Hill" would be a lot of fun on that bike. Aside from that section, the rest was fine on my Tiger 900.
Kinda bummed I didn't make the return route with y'all. Didn't think I had enough endurance to do the dirt + another 400 miles of pavement home.
It is only about 270 from Mena, so not as bad as the 400 from Hot Springs.Yeah, I'd love to do that route again on my 450. I suspect "Cherry Hill" would be a lot of fun on that bike. Aside from that section, the rest was fine on my Tiger 900.

I asked Santa Claus for heated gear so this could feel like a May trip in February for me.A few years ago we did a version of this loop in February on a “nice” weather weekend. I think we delayed the start each day until 9:30 or 10 to let the temps rise a bit. Highs in the 50’s with sun are usually perfect. Cold weather adds an element of anxiety to the water crossing though!!
Will be eyeing the weather forecast for a winter run.
Might regret it but this makes me want to go, lol.
I made it up. You'd have no problem.Might regret it but this makes me want to go, lol.
You don't give yourself enough credit! Pretty gnarly going down huh!I made it up. You'd have no problem.
