Time to do it again...we'll see if the weather scares people off or not this time.
The plan is to arrive September 20th and possibly get an afternoon ride in. Ride the 21st and some more the 22nd returning home the afternoon of the 22nd.
We're starting to get a good handle on the area and what routes make sense given the riders, bikes and weather. We'll figure out groups and routes as we get closer and know who will be there.
On the first 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. I'm leaning towards the WR450 at present. I'll likely trailer...so 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.) I've reserved the River Cabin and have 3 in it at present. It sleeps 4 so speak up if you want the 4th spot.
