Hi Larry,
Thanks for your reply. Where in NWA are you? I live in Bella Vista.
What I'm doing is working on developing USBRS Route 51 which will connect the TransAmerica Trail with Louisiana. Here are three draft routes that I've put together. If you have any thoughts or feedback on any portion of them I'd sure appreciate it. My riding in Arkansas has been limited to the area around Bella Vista and Bentonville, and north of here like Anderson, so far. Although - boy, the weather the last few weeks has sure been a damper on getting out.
