Bikes Blues and Barbecue, 2010

Saturday we went to Fayetteville, Arkansas to check out the Bikes, Blues and Barbecue Rally.

We got up at 5:30 that morning, met at the Valero on Edmond Road at 6:30, and were on the road by 6:45. Oh, man was it early and cold! The temperature guage on Darling Husband's bike did not get over 48 degrees Farenheit until around 9:15 or so. With the speed that we were riding and using the wind chill calculator from weatherimages.org , we were riding at about 25 degrees Farenheit until then. Brr!

We rode down Kelly Avenue to Broadway extension to I-40 to Arkansas Highway 23.

Highway 23 is also known as the Pigtrail Highway.

It is curvier than a Coca-Cola Bottle. I really liked the 20 MPH sign. It was not a suggestion.
For this one below, though, it was a suggestion.


I did not take any pictures of us in left hand turns because I did not want to throw us off balance.
Ok, so I was scared. Don't judge. 20 is not a suggestion here. 10 is the suggestion.

We doubled back on our selves on that curve.

Here is Broccoli, next bike is Flip and Flip's girl, then the Redeemed Wolf, his buddy, then Darling Husband's buddy, J.

Always wear your helmets, kids.
We got to Fayetteville around 12:00. Yes, we were going WAY Slow. Stopped quite often. It is really only a 4 hour drive. Unless you go out of the way to take the Pigtrail Highway.

So here is Darling Husband and the Redeemed Wolf contemplating the Kegmobile.
All said and done, we had a good time and we look forward to going next year.
Thanks for Stoppin' By!
