Day 7

End of my first week. It's a rest day for me. I'll get enough back roads riding in Missouri and Arkansas the next couple weeks. This morning many of us lined up our bikes for a group picture. There were well over 40 K1600 bikes and I'm sure there are several others that were staying at other motels who didn't get here in time to put their bikes in the line up.

Day 6

We finally got hit with rain on our ride today but only for a half hour or so. There was enough time on the ride after it stopped to get dried out. We stopped for lunch at a biker type burger joint out in the country next to a river. We got on a brand new parkway that had nice sweeping curves and fresh black top. The final stretch home took us back on the Tail of the Dragon and again it wasn't crowded so a nice way to end the day.
