There could be snow. If so, we won't go. We decided when we started doing this that if the temps aren't at least 40*, we won't go. Same thing with ice and snow. If the weather is crappy, we can always ride south instead of north. Yes, the plan is to ride HWY 7 up to Hot Springs.

Be sure and order the "Godfather" pizza. The place is south of the race track on the west side of the road. Kind of sits back off the road in a parking lot.

Since it's a 1 day ride from Shreveport, LA going north of hot springs is out of the question for this ride. Thanks, though.

This last summer did a ride from home to Clarksdale MS, on down to Vicksburg & New Orleans then up thru the Bayou country to Lafayette, passed thru Monroe to Hot Springs then on back to the house Took us 12 days but worth it save the 'Love Bugs' and I don't mean Volkswagons. Nice country and nice riding north of W. Monroe, a little better north of Hot Springs if you ask me on Hwy.7.

Hiway 7 north of Hot Springs has a few bends posted at 20 mph and they mean it. A couple of friends on crotch rockets accustomed to doubling the recommended speeds for the turns wound up in the ditches. Most of the time that works but unless you know the turns ahead of time, you might bend your device. Those bends may even be north of Russelville, it has been many years and I just don't remember exactly where they are. That's a beautiful, enjoyable route in that part of the country.
