Here is my tenative route, Planning on taking my time and 5 days riding. Sister in Law lives in Owasso so that night's lodging is free. Decents Motels but nothing fancy.

Opinions from those who have done a loop simular. Must see places, Good resonable Hotel/Motel, and good food but nothing fancy.

Been thru there several times in the last two years, just about any road in Arkansas is worth riding on a bike. The Peel Ferry is small so you may have to wait a bit. The weekend of the 8th-10th is Bikes, Babes and Bling in Fayetteville so make sure you have reservations if you get close to that area............maybe you already knew that .
Have fun.......I'll be there that weekend.

That's on the "day 4" ride. Down 23 to Ozark (eat) and back up 21 to Berryville.

Default Great Trip

I hope you have a great trip. I've lived in NW Arkansas for the past 8 years. Great roads.

If you get near Grove OK, just north is Miami. Check out the Route 66 Vintage Iron museum. It's free and worth the side trip.

I have a website that some information check it out Cruz'N the back roads

We went the last couple of years riding in the Hot Springs area but last year we went up to Eureka Springs , I dont think I would go back if I couldnt go all the way back up to Eureka Springs , we loved it up there . We will surely go again this year if at all possible .

Oark and Ozark are two different towns. Ozark is the one on your route. I've run through there and there's more to choose from as far as eats because it's a much bigger town. But, I can't say I have found anything I was crazy about in Ozark. Lots of Subways and McDonalds. That said, I don't know all that much about Ozark and there could be some great places.

Oark is as small a town as you will ever find. Really the only thing in town is the General Store. To get to Oark and the General Store, you would need to cut over on 215. After that I would double back to 103 and work that south and then east over to 21. Nice ride.
