Monday Oct 22:
Monday is a 331 mile day and should take - not including gas stops, etc., - 6 hrs 29 min (unfortunately this is almost all highway with the exception of the return trip on the Talamina Trail).
Obviously this is a marathon trip. If the distances or the routes don't look promising, nothing is etched in stone at the moment so let's talk about it if there's something on your mind.
Overall, it should be a great trip. I think this will be my fourth trip through Arkansas along these routes and it's some of the best riding you'll find anywhere (just for grins, use the zoom in feature on Push Mountain Road). Long damn days for sure but great times for sure too!
