Would join you but we will be coming in from the south side of Springfield. Planning to run through Clarksdale, Mississippi and then over to hit the Pig Trail in Arkansas and up through Eureka Springs. Sounds like a nice ride in for sure....

Really thought this was the year that we’d be able to make this event this year..... sadly the border is still closed to us non essential travellers.... maybe 2022 will be the year!!
