I ride Arkansas 3 or 4 times a year, I would prefer the spring or fall months, it gets damn hot and humid mid summer. Northern Arkansas is the better riding in my opinion but as far south as Hot Springs is pretty good. There are some big rides , Blues Bikes and bar B Q is a big deal but if you're going to ride, about 4 bikes is the max for me. I think you could ride Arkansas for a month and never be on a bad road or the same road twice, it has to be in the top 5 states to ride !

I went to the Hillbilly Rally several times back when it was in Eureka Springs and once after it moved to Marble Falls. I haven't been in several years, but I would recommend it.
