Default NE TX Perfect Weather Weekend 10/28-29

Hi everyone!
I'm new to the DFW area, and looking for good riding places and hopefully good people to ride with.
We bought a house in Keller and love it so far.
I've done some exploring myself, but a local experienced group is wonderful to cruise with.

The weather this weekend, both Sat and Sun are supposed to be perfect, or at least perfect for me.

If any of you DFW area folks are going out this weekend and don't mind an fairly experienced rider tagging along, please let me know.

If you are looking for a real nice scenic trip, best if done as an overnight ride look at the ride over to Mena, AR. You can take the Talemina scenic dr on the way to or from Mena. I'm located a couple of hours East of you and for me it is 2 to 3 hours to Mena on a direct route.

We are heading that way to make the trip the 1st weekend in Nov, weather permitting.

After looking at a Topo map of that area I knew that I wanted to ride there, thanks for confiming my speculations.

Garmin Mapsource say it's 278 miles and over 5 hours away from here.

Any good hotels or bed and breakfast around there?
