Central Rally 2011 - Eureka Springs, Arkansas in Spring! - Page 3

Mr Lefty · 10-30-2010, 09:48 AM

mid may is probably bad for me... we have had the Special Olympics around the 15th of may the last two years (can't speak before that wasn't here) so I imagine I'll have to compete.. I mean setup for it again. all leave is pre-denied.

what about the same time frame we normally do it... first weekend in June?

Cause Spring in Arkansas isnt in June, Duh!

Actually it really shouldnt matter a rally is a rally. Only those planning on making both would be put off. That and school being out will mean Arkansas camping and tourism picking up the traffic a bit. I still think First weekend of May would be good...

Honestly, I can make any weekend so it isn't a big deal when it is to me.

Mr Lefty · 10-30-2010, 05:18 PM

well if it's early in May I can probably do it... just not mid may... but honestly I won't know until April for sure

What about heat & humidity in June? That might be ruffer.

I think it would be cool if we could do day trips to KS & OK.

When in the spring are we thinking?

I have scoped some rides to S MO to Branson and over to Peel's Ferry then back into Extreme NW AR, and another great route thru Jasper to Hwy 123 and 7.. Cant get to Arkansas without seeing Hwy 23, the Pig Trail either. I could keep you guys on bikes 11 hours a day.

Gas just wants to get more stickers for his windscreen. Thats why he wants to hit NE and OK. Flat or not, one toe in or one mile in, he isn't picky.

Wont it be warmer down south there in late march and april? But I agree early May would be good.

You wanna stay in the 'haunted' Crescent Hotel? Dunno how bike friendly it is...

What is this 'haunted' Crescent Hotel you speak of?
