First was Hobbs State Park right by Beaver Lake. They claim twenty something miles of singletrack. It's very well built and maintained, non technical, rolling, ribbon trail. Very fast. I came up with around 18 miles of trail or so. Loaded with armadillos. I saw three just lumbering around. Either they're lazy, stupid, or really sluggish due to "winter". I walked right up to them and could've picked them up if I wanted. I couldn't get them to curl up for whatever reason. A few shots from the phone:
Next was Lake Leatherwood just outside or Eureka Springs. Variety of terrain, lakeside, ridgetop, technical, buff, a bit of everything. I think 10 or 15 miles of trail. I had a blast here and will come back whenever I can. I ran in to Scott Davis of the BT Epic and talked/rode with him a bit, he was the only other rider out there. There is a Fat Tire Festival that takes place in Eureka Springs every year. Looks like it would be a good time. A few more:
Then some Buckingham's on the way home.
Workin' hard.

Very jealous. My bike's hanging from my basement rafters as naked as a jaybird. And we've got snow forecasted for tonight.
Looks like fun! When are the trails going to dry out?!?!?!?-- Jaosn
I'm jealous too. My rig is still a bit out of commission, with new parts waiting in the wings. Highs in the 30s and snow on the ground, with flurries forecasted too frequently for me.
