After some discussion before everyone left, we all decided to set the dates of October 6th-8th (Friday-Sunday).
Karen and I are planning to arrive 10/4 (Wed) and leaving 10/9 (Mon).

Any set date for Eureka Springs 2023?

MidnightRide it is very beautiful countryside. And yes you can ride some river valley and mountains both in short spans. It's a lot of fun for sure. Here in the cornfields of Iowa everything is straight until you get along the rivers.

Wow, that's a pretty impressive app. I didn't realize that area had such diverse terrain. Looked like great riding! Thanks for posting it, Brad!

[Brad_G]

DEEPHATE it was a good time. Maybe you should come down and join us sometime.

Actually one of the guys at Eureka Springs is from Burlington area. He's kicking around the idea of an Iowa event (he did one several years ago). If he does I'll make sure to reach out.

[DEEPHATE]

That's pretty cool.

I'm not very good about taking pictures so don't have many to share. I do have a little app I enjoy that tracks where I've been and where the pictures were taken. Here's a look at where I went on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The link will take to a web page with a video flyover (my favorite part), a map, and any pictures I took at the time.

Friday - https://www.relive.cc/view/vLqeJGKPDRv

Saturday - https://www.relive.cc/view/vmqXB29MzLO (I was also pleased to see we had a couple of Botanist studying the local greenery)

Sunday - https://www.relive.cc/view/vrqo38Dk3Kq

As with anything, it seems like it takes so long for the event to get here, and then it's over in the blink of an eye. But I sure enjoy getting to visit and ride with such good people. I'm already looking forward to '23.

Stay safe out there, 20's is too cold to be out riding, but what do I know, I live in Texas where it's stil in the 40's.

[Brad_G]

I think I have a mount for the phone to put on a stand. I can facetime so you can watch and laugh as well.

It won’t happen again

[Lug Nut]

Still not home. Had to stop last night due to snow and rain and ice in Indianapolis. Got up this morning and headed out got as far as Gas City started raining pretty good so I pulled over it up Burger King drinking coffee. It was 68° Sunday in Avilla and now it's in the '20s.But the bike is performing flawlessly I have to say that.

Brad if you need you can put me on speaker to give some positive hillbilly commentary while you change your tire. I’m sure it helps.

[Brad_G]

It was nice to have you folks there again. I'm already looking forward to '23.

[Brad_G]

Glad I was able to help out. I didn't expect anyone to need a tire. But it wasn't doing anything in my shop (was going to put it on this winter) and I had room in the trailer to drag it along. Gave me a chance to practice changing the tire for when I do mine!

[Shotround]

here i was thinking there was something wrong with my carbonated 2006 not getting 40mpg at those speeds.

[Lug Nut]

Fantastic time. Thanks to Brad G for having that spare tire on hand for me lol. Our hosts made absolutely wonderful food for us on the grill. It's slow going getting back to Indiana It's absolutely freezing out and I'm stopping every 60 mi or so to warm up. Eating some good old gas station food right now about a hundred miles outside of Indianapolis

[D.Overton]

We sure had a good time this weekend! Great weather and awesome riding. Nice seeing everyone again. We're already thinking about next year!

[Lug Nut]

700 miles and over 14 hours on the road...Avilla Indiana down to Eureka Springs Arkansas. Wind was terrible ..two semis knocked over and caused my mpg to drop a ton! I go 85-90 on the highway...got 25-28mpg. full windshield set to the tallest position, desert dawgs on crash bars and hand deflectors on throttle and grip side caught a lot of wind also. Going to soak in jacuzzi tub at hotel to get warmed up and then go to bed.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I do admit to be more mellow if not just downright silly on some medications.
