Crystal and I stopped for breakfast in Clinton. The skies were beginning to clear.
By the time we stopped for fuel in Morrilton it was partly sunny.
Got home about 1:30 to mostly sunny skies and temps in the upper 70's.
Great seeing everyone again. Thanks to Troy for getting everything going.
Hopefully we will see everyone before too long.

Want to thank everyone that attended, it was great seeing everyone again. We didn't have the Ideal weather, but we all have rode in worse. Had 17 people and 12 bikes, 5 were Kawasaki

And our big surprise guest Amin(Rasta) showed up.

9 of us that got in early Thursday got a ride in, made a 80 mile loop down to Greer Ferry.

On Friday we all went on a 220 mile ride. Headed north east up to Melbourne then back NW to Norfork. And down Push Mountain Rd, That was blast. From there we headed to Marshall for Lunch and Gas. From there we headed SW down 27 to 254 and up to Dennard. 27 is a beautiful road, scenic, curvy and smooth. Then down to Botkinburg on 65 then SE on 110 (not to smooth, but scenic) to Shirley. Took 9 to Rushing the 263 to Timbo and 66 back to Mountain View. Weather wasn't warm but no rain.
Saturday it rained, wasn't awful but it was cold. So we all went to breakfast then we went to Blanchard Spring Caverns, pretty cool. Went to a small local brewery (Gravity Brewworks in Big Flat). Then Back to Mountain View. Had some supper, then just hung around and talked.
Sunday we all said our goodbyes and head out. Most made it home same day.
Overall it was a good ride, and I got to see all my Southern friends.
Still can't believe you let this Yankee lead you around.

Thanks Again. Hope to see you all soon.

Side note; 2uprider from Texas never showed up. Hope everything is ok.

I wondered the same thing. Weather forecast may have made him change his plans. Hopefully he’ll post something before long.

Thanks Troy, you did a great job. We may want to follow you again if you keep it up.
Enjoyed seeing everyone and all the activities.

I too enjoyed seeing everybody...old friends and couple new.

We actually got back last Friday. Had to hurry back, just a tad under 1300 miles in 2 days which is too much for this old couple, to a sick dog boarded at vets kennel.

Sorry to say buried my 10 1/2 year old lab, Kayce, this evening.

Great dog and I miss her already.....

**BudMan** · 05-20-2019, 10:31 AM

Sorry to hear about your dog. You certainly get attached to them.

**Rasta** · 05-20-2019, 05:33 PM

Sorry about your dog Dick. Hope she didn't suffer a lot

**Rasta** · 05-20-2019, 05:36 PM
