Title: Final Fall Fling ride November 9 & 10 (Northern Arkansas)
Post by: jim snyder on October 25, 2018, 05:35:53 PM
Figured I would post this here also. Let me know if you are interested.

Ok folks here is an opportunity to get in one more ride before the holidays. The "Final Fall Fling" ride will be held in Clinton Arkansas on November 9th &, 10th. The hotel location is the Best Western Hillside Inn in Clinton. Their number is (501) 745-4700. I have blocked off
5 rooms for the ride but more can be blocked if needed. Rate is around $77/night. Mention you are with the COG group when calling. All of their rooms are ground level so easy parking and access to your bike. So if you didn't get to make Jacks ride or Big Bend join us for this one. Looking forward to some good Arkansas twisties and visiting with friends.

Might as well stay home dude. Me and my boys straightened those roads out about two weeks ago. It's not twisty anymore. 8)

We didn't. We did go north and take the ferry across Bull Shoals  lake and hit 125 in Missouri. It's the bomb dude, check it out!

I checked and he shows as being registered so I'd have to say YES.

However, did you know the event was set for a max of 10? You are already at that number so nobody else can currently sign up for it.
Could be that's the way you wanted it, but I mention it just in case that wasn't what you had planned.

Ya awl have fun and ride safe now ya hear me?

We did not set a limit of 10.
Not sure where that number came from.

My understanding is this is not an official COG event, just a ride among friends, so any that want to come and ride with us, are welcome.

Ride safe, Ted

Well that's why I mentioned it, when you see it on the calendar it says "FULL". I didn't think you intended that, so now you or Jim can still fix it....or ask Fred or Craig to do it for you.

I've done the Bull Shoals Ferry many times and yes, 125 is the **** for sure.

OK, it's fixed now. It's no longer "FULL" and has room for 10 more.

...... and yes, 125 is the **** for sure.

Looks a bit Chilly out there today guys. Still, good on you guys for getting in a Final Fling.

Glad to hear that Mrs. Justcliff (a beautiful and thoughtful lady) is making you all a big pot O chili to blunt fall's brisk nip.

Yea, it was a bit cool but the real riders went anyway.
We had a great time.
No rain but cool. Average temp was about 40*..
Did 200 -300 miles of twisty's both days.

Many thanks to Cliff and his bride!!
They set up a Chili eatin' gathering at his place. {In his shop}
A good time was had by all, the Chili was great, and they even arranged some door prizes...

Ride safe, Ted
