Pictures over in Ride Reports, nearly same title. What a trip! May even rival my Western Europe trip in 1991 (England, Belgium, Holland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain) for fun roads. In fact, I think the roads actually were better!
NW Arkansas : all fresh asphalt, smooth as a baby's butt, in a mountain range, around lakes, across rivers, through forests, every possible type of turn you could think off, including some (like the linked switchback esses of Pea Ridge Military Reservation) that were technical enough to make you sweat even if it had been freezing out.
And the weather, OMG it was clear, sunny, with a light breeze for 5 days of riding heaven.
I didn't want to leave!
