Default NW Arkansas Meetup

Now that the Electra Glide is roadworthy again, I'm back to thinking about the NW Arkansas road trip I was talking about a little while back in the Peace and Quiet thread.

The way things look, Saturday July 18 would work out well.

I'm looking to find a spot for lunch, then spend the rest of the day riding the area. A guy told me about Pig Trail Bypass Country Cafe, which looks promising. But really anything in the area will do, so if you've got a recommendation, by all means spill it.

Who's in?

I'd probably be in, and most likely make it a Thursday to Sunday weekend.
We would probably stay in Eureka Springs Friday night and catch the Great Passion Play.
If it would suit more people, could even move it up a month,
we were already loosely planning on making a ride up there sometime in June.
If not, we could do something else like TN in June, do the AR run in July.
Either or.

One alternative that would work for me is to move it up to the end of this month. Like Saturday May 30th or even the 23rd.

I need to check a few things, but as of right now I'm a "maybe".

Google maps says it's 6 1/2 hours from my house to the Pig Trail Bypass Country Cafe. I know it sounds pathetic, but I may have to take 2 days to go that far. I need to get out and ride to see how it goes.

There's no rush, and no point in pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone. Depending on how things fall, I may end up leaving Thursday myself.

If it's going to be July 18th, I'm changing my "maybe" to a "definitely will be there", barring anything unforeseen happening.

I need to get out and do some distance riding to see what I can do. 🙂
