Re: June 24 & 25: Dualsport Glade Top Trail, Ava, MO

We can always go back to Glade Top again right? Or even someplace else with some good riding like there. To tell you the truth, I'm kinda ready to try camping off the bike sometime soon. I just need a smaller tent, and I think I'm set if somebody else has cooking gear. I guess a cafe to eat at woul...

Re: June 24 & 25: Dualsport Glade Top Trail, Ava, MO

I hope to be heading to SE Iowa this weekend and along the Mississippi River. There are a number of sites that interest me, including a different brew pub for Friday and Saturday night. Is that an invitation, Eddie? Folks, lots of riding opportunities this weekend. Get out there and Ride! Good sugg...

Re: June 24 & 25: Dualsport Glade Top Trail, Ava, MO

Well, there is a BMW rally Eddie told me about over in Crane, MO this weekend. I could do that instead and save Glade Top for another weekend. However, we've got some momentum behind this ride now...so me thinks we stick to plan. Btw, I looked into that BMW rally and there are a lot of Hondas and Su...

Re: Rodney Atkins: Take a Back Road

Put a little Gravel in your Travel. Rideforum.net I love it! So far I believe you (Hayden) are the only one with an actual RideForum.NET sticker on your bike. (He made his own!) Below is an artist's (me) rendition of my new BMW F800 GS! https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VeQCVTE9WsA/TgHZy4U1lQI/AAA...

Rodney Atkins: Take a Back Road

Statistically , 58% of you don't like country music. If you are in the other 42% like I am, then check out Rodney Atkins new song Take a Back Road . It kind of sums up a lot of why I ride dualsport.

Jason glad to hear you might come along! Oh, and thanks for returning my motorcycle jack.

FYI, Jason is looking for a roommate for Fri night. He sleeps naked, snores, and is into cuddling and moonlit walks.

are you making reservations at the comfort inn or winging it?
Winging it is a bit more my style, but I'll probably make reservations on Thursday for Fri night.

Re: June 24 & 25: Dualsport Glade Top Trail, Ava, MO

NOTE: THIS INFO IS OLD . See the FIRST POST for up-to-date info! I almost certainly will not have the time to invest in planning this ride that I'd like. As usual, there are at least 100 route options and cool things to see that we simply can't do---not enough hours in the day and not enough days. ...

Re: June 24 & 25: Dualsport Glade Top Trail, Ava, MO

Will it involve highway riding? Yes. How much is the question. If you leave the metro around 4 pm and want to get down towards Springfield before dark, you have to make some time. We do not have to make Springfield Fri night. The more gravel in our travel the better. Plans are not solidified, but w...

Troy you mentioned another road that was around that area on our last trip through Arkansas, but, for the life of me I can't remember what it was..pigtail? Does that sound right? Pig Tail Trail. Hwy 23 between Hwy 16 (near Combs, AR) and I-44 (Ozark, AR). The best parts are 6 miles just N of Hwy 21...

This is an invite to join a reddof and I on a dualsport mini adventure over the June 24th weekend. Reddof needs to get out of the house that weekend and I need an excuse to put miles on my new F800. Reddof will be on his F800, too. We don't have much of a plan yet, but want to be back home by Sat ni...
