Hogeye Loop from Baum Stadium (41 miles)

Headed down to Fayetteville today to ride with the Ozark Roadies group. I really like the variety of the rides they do around here. Today we met up at Baum Stadium and headed out through Hogeye, around to Strickler, and back in through West Fork. For those of you as unfamiliar with those spots as I am....that's like heading towards Devil's Den Park on the back roads, but then turning towards West Fork instead of heading into the park.
Here's the start of the day shot from Baum Stadium, as we're learning where the turns and re-group points will be.....


Bikes and bikers surround the world famous "Hogeye Mall"......not quite what I expected, it's a run down looking convenience store....


Like the way my bike looks with my nicer wheel set and without that rack on the back, but still haven't been able to give up the big seat bag, camera bag, and my itunes. Did have the bottom bracket replaced the other day, but still getting a clicking sound (now from the other side)......it's driving me crazy..... 


looking forward to getting down to Little Rock next week for the Big Dam Bridge ride. Haven't done that one since the 2nd year they had it, but remembered it being a really well organized event.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget....the Tour de Cure is coming up in another 3 or 4 weeks.......
