About 60 riders were greeted with some of the finest spring weather on offer this morning. Even the drive out to Prairie Grove was great. I have ridden all these roads many times but what made this ride fun for me was riding with folks who haven’t. Riding without an agenda, just hanging out & meeting people from around the state. It was a great way to spend the morning.

Sunny, cool & green for days.

Staging.

Man what a morning.

This is a beautiful route.

This guy was pretty fast. 

A look back.

The run in to “The Wall”.

I think it’s more about when you come around the corner and see “The Wall” that makes it intimidating.

The Wall.

But it’s really not that bad and thankfully we only go up it one time. 

Once you are up on 170 you are treated with some spectacular views.

Finally tailwind.

Shady spot for when things get…

Ozarkia.

Let’s Eat!

Another great morning here in the Ozarks.
