Low 40s when we leave in the morning.

 

Trying to get my truck and trailer ready for this trip. 6 inches of rain since 10pm last night and tons more forecast for the next several days. Riding there ain't gonna be an option from the looks of things I am so sick of this years weather. It took me all summer long to find a weekend where It wasn't pouring rain either here or in Louisiana or everywhere in between to finally get to go ride with my son and his buddy in Louisiana last weekend.

 

 

Bike is packed and ready to roll. Trailer isn't going to work with this bike (negative tongue weight) so riding over it will be. Rain appears to be fading but we've had 8 inches here since midnight! It's a great ride from here to there mostly on hwy 412 so I'm looking forward to it. This Glide eats pavement and makes me smile every single mile!

 

As a long time permanent resident of Northwest Arkansas, I'd like to welcome everyone to our neck of the woods. Have a great time & ride safe. For those of you that have expressed interest in a group greet and ride, I'll be sending out text messages Thursday morning and sharing our plans and proposed meeting places / times / rides etc.

For those of you that plan on spending any time on Hwy 12 (east of Rogers and Northeast of Fayetteville), please be aware that the Arkansas High Department recently put down some fresh gravel on that road prepping for new asphalt and reworking the shoulders. Please ride with caution for at least 15 miles on both sides of small town of Clifty, Arkansas.

 

Waiting on one last heavy line of rain to pass through here and I might get lucky and have clear sailing the entire way over there. It has rained so much here in the past 4-5 days it actually broke the NWS rain gauge at the airport!!!

 

Awesome time with fantastic friends, rides, and weather!!!!! Actually a little over 1800 since I accidentally cleared it filling up my tank on the way over.

 

I used to travel to Bentonville for work quite often. Never could coordinate a meeting the week of the rally though. Maybe one year it will work out.

Had a great time hanging out with Mike this year. Great rides, great company and good food!
