I was on Push Mountain This last Saturday 5/12/2018 lots of marble size gravel in the right hand turns, I was heading north, and some road break up in the north bound lane. But I stopped by a small convenience store at Lone Rock and that guy has got a crazy factory built bicycle in the store, sometimes you find the coolest stuff in the most normal places. Nima's pizza in Gassville is worth a bit of a ride especially if you take some back roads and stay off 62 as much as possible.

    Left Tampa at 6:30 this morning. Little over 600 miles today, with 450 miles of rain.  :sad: Holed up in a motel in Collins, Mississippi. Cheap room, restaurant and a gas station with beer right next door. Hope to be in Harrison by 6 tomorrow.

Just arrived at the hotel about a half hour ago. The riding weather could not have been more perfect.

Stopped to eat at Low Gap Cafe coincidentally as GuzzistaJohn was finishing his meal and as soon as I ordered, LowRyter came rolling up on the Greenie:

Tried (on Wednesday) to book a room at the Hotel Seville -but she said $198/night + taxes & fees.

Well, it was Wednesday.... she said they had only one room left.
I went and tried it online.   Same price.

We've stayed at that Hotel a few times and the price has always been around $80.  Business must be good.

I'll be in Friday....got a room at the Seville at the blue collar (or bald/gray headed) rate. Looking forward to the oxymoronic combo of spirited riding and leisurely down time.

Still in.  Probably arrive at the Seville late in the evening Friday. 

I have my aroma-therapy and yoga session scheduled for 6:30 am, but should be free for breakfast by 7:30.

I would so liked to have gotten over there to ride the Ozarks this weekend. Just got back from a Texas Hill Country ride/hike get-away with my wife in time for a memorial internment service for her mother tomorrow. Would much rather be riding than doing these type of things.
The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!

GliderJohn and I took the Peel Ferry over to Missouri and were both pleasantly surprised at how nice the roads were over there

 Anyone heard from Lowryter ? We were supposed to meet on the West side of Muskogee , he has apparently vanished  :shocked:

 Edit
 
 Seems John's GPS is unaware that parts of Oklahoma exist , no idea how it routed him around Muskogee since he was traveling on the highway that comes right across town  :shocked:

Got home around  2.  I missed a road sign in Muskogee and ended up going south rather than west.  Probably lost an hour but it was a good ride.

Put my rain gear on but only needed it to stay warm. 

Looks like everyone had a good and safe time and ran their own rides.   One ticket and I got a warning.

Sorry I missed you Dusty, the weather and getting lost just turned me around.

I was on Push Mountain This last Saturday 5/12/2018 lots of marble size gravel in the right hand turns, I was heading north, and some road break up in the north bound lane. But I stopped by a small convenience store at Lone Rock and that guy has got a crazy factory built bicycle in the store, sometimes you find the coolest stuff in the most normal places. Nima's pizza in Gassville is worth a bit of a ride especially if you take some back roads and stay off 62 as much as possible.

I encountered some rocks and gravel sprinkled like fairy dust on Push Mtn.  Taken at a brisk clip it was no problem  Very little traffic on Saturday.  Also some sand on 123 northbound side.  Again, no traffic.

Have to say it was great weather and great riding.

   Concours Jeff and I only made it half way home today. About 540 miles. We jumped on the interstate to make time. It was hot but no rain all day. Tomorrow looks like rain all day. Stopped in McComb MS for the night.
