After having so much fun at the 2015 Spring BBQ Run to Sugarfire in St. Charles, MO, we have to do it again next year.

Planning has begun for the 2016 Spring BBQ Run. Next Year's destination...

Eureka Springs, AR, the weekend of April 23rd, 2016. BBQ will be at Penguin Ed's on Mission in Fayetteville.

The riding will be phenomenal, to say the least!!!

Stay tuned :D

We have a block of rooms setup at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs.

We have 30 rooms in the block at $109.00/night for Thursday thru Sunday. Call the hotel and tell them you are in the Road Glide block.

There are two Best Western's in Eureka Springs. This is the one on the West End of town, NOT The one at the Highway 23 Intersection.

It's quite far from where I live, but I just may try to make it. At least I have plenty of time to plan. Depending on my work schedule and where and when SW6 ends up, who knows. :)

You know we are all in on Eureka! One of my favorite places to ride around and stay in. Looking forward to the details.
+1 I love the area and am in as well if the stars align and I can make it. I know my days off will be in short supply next year :(

I am still working on room blocks with a couple of hotels. Worst case, you have to make your own reservations. There are a ton of small hotels in town. A lot are Mom & Pop operations where they take good care of you.

Eureka Springs is probably one of the MOST Biker Friendly towns you will find. All the Hotels know this, and are very accommodating.
Eureka Springs in April sounds like rainy and a cold rain at that but the good Lord willin' I'll be there. As far as hotels the accommodations are varied and many. Instead of doing it on the phone why not road trip down there one weekend and scope out the best possibilities since you are, relatively speaking, not that far away.

As far as bar-b-que, I don't know about Eureka Springs but my favorite in the area is Penguin Ed's over in Fayetteville. Good eatin' and lots of it! It'd be a nice ride over and sometime over the weekend we'd probably venture over to Pig Trail Harley anyway :D:eek::D

Things are still in the planning stage, but I have thrown open the Facebook Event for all who hide out there. Invite your friends. If you need an invite, post up here, someone should be able to send an invite.

May I have a facebook invite please? My brother lives in Centerton and it would be a perfect reason togo see him and meet up with y'all at the same time.

OldNerdGuy, I live probably 20 minutes away from you. As long as I'm in town for that weekend, I'm in!!! I'll probably have a couple guys with me also.

We are already taking a ride down to Arkansas on the last weekend of June this year. We are doing a 4 day ride from STL down through Table Rock area and heading down into N/W Arkansas.

It says ride time is over 8 hours. You add breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus a couple rest stops, that could be 11 or 12 hours. What time in the morning do you plan to leave? And I'm sure it will be dark before you get back during that time of year. Are you sure you want to do a ride that long this time of year?

Are you planning a ride for Friday as well?
 
#28 ·
so what time are you heading out Saturday morning on the ride ??

What time is BBQ ??

Was planning on leaving Friday early , but if spousal unit comes along don't know if she will do 625 miles in a day , may have to leave Thursday and get there Friday sometime ..

Wanda and I are booked at host hotel for Fri. and Sat. nites. Hope to arrive early Fri. Any rides planned for Fri.?

There will be a Friday Ride, probably going someplaces you already know, but others may not. Might be a good day to ride down to Pig Trail HD, and then back to Eureka Springs, the long way.

Well it's official , I have Friday and the following week off , may try to get Thursday as well , at any rate , be there Friday sometimes ..

Not on FB , may call the BW and go on and book a room ..

Whats the head count so far ..

No clue. And, quite frankly, not all that worried about it. I'll be there for the folks who show up, even if it is just you, Ben and Wanda.
