Get ready for a fun weekend of riding in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  We will be riding through the beautiful Talimena Scenic Biway.  It is an amazing stretch of road for anyone who has yet to experience it. The plan is to ride out to Hot Springs on Friday, then grab dinner on Lake Hamilton. 

On Saturday 3/29 we will be putting together another ride during the day and I will be hosting a barbeque for everyone at my house for everyone that afternoon.  Details will be provided closer to the event.

This is a PATCH RIDE.  Anyone who does this ride with us to Hot Springs will receive a patch for their participation.  We hope to see you there!!!
