Got this down as a possible trip to substitute for my CO trip I will be unable to do.
Put me down as a strong maybe. I need to to in Mena Arkansas on the 14th, so I will enjoy this rally and move south to another. Sweeeeet!
Got all my vacation days consumed by family gatherings. Gonna have to drop out of this one.
I have not ridden any NW Arkansas dirt roads personally, but from what I've read and photos I've seen, they are some of the best in the country. See Mike's earlier posts with photos of his past rides.How are the dirt roads in Arkansas compare to roads in CO?
Gotcha on the list.I am a strong maybe
How are the dirt roads in Arkansas compare to roads in CO?
Thanks for the info. We just got back from Silverton, CO and those roads are crazy. We hit several passes up there. We jad a lot of fun and learned a lot. I'm looking forward to riding in Arkansas. I've been to Mena several times but never left the pavement. Just wasn't sure how it compared.Colorado has everything from easy peasy graded gravel/dirt roads to full on OMG nasty rocky mountain passes that are challenging even in a 4WD jeep or on a serious dirt bike. Arkansas has many many easy nice forest/county roads that you can drive most any car/truck down with no problem, unless they get muddy. It also has some roads that get pretty technical because of water crossings with big rocks and fast moving water. In terms of just sheer rugged rock crawling roads, Arkansas has nothing on the hard stuff in Colorado. The most technical stuff will be two track ATV trails. They are generally shown on maps with a five digit road number and they typically run straight up the side of the mountains. So they can get pretty steep and sometimes rough. Most of the regular roads tend to run along the valleys and ridges, and they will have switchbacks at the ends or occasionally on the sides of the ridges that connect the high roads the low roads. They are easily done on most any adventure bike. There is also the altitude thing. I can't think of anywhere in Arkansas where I felt like I was unable to breathe because the air was too thin... Now, there have been times where I felt like I couldn't breathe because the humidity was so high I felt like I was going to drown...
I'm in...
