What a great morning. Mid 60’s starting out. A gift after the heat wave. The bunch was considerably more chipper. We had a solid group roll out for the lumpy route I planned. A couple guys from Bentonville rode down, one Okie from Tulsa and one gent from Denver joined us. Good times. Love this Ozark living.

The bunch.
On the road again.
We started by heading east.
For Keith.
Everything is blooming and super green with all the rain.
South on Habberton Rd. Kudos to Reid B for grabbing my KOM.
The clouds and cool temps were awesome.
Tree tunnel.
If you look to the left of the bunch you will see that little lump which is Round Mountain. That is where we are headed.
Round Mountain Rd.
Almost to the climb. This is a great stretch of road.
Dropped.
Turtle.
I really like the Round Mt. climb. It stair steps giving a bit of a breather between ramps. Super interesting.
Gas station regroup in Elkins.
After heading south on the Pig Trail we took the back way to Sulphur City.
I totally forgot about this kicker. Steep…
Ozarkia.
Just after the Thunder Rd. climb.
Really cool descent. What a morning.
Yeah, some more dreamy Ozark riding. Always enjoy rolling with you guys! See you again soon.
Always great to have you on board!
