Re: [ST] trip report--Talimena Byway

["Daniel Miller" <sportybird@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Talimena is ok, but NOT if you like tight technical riding, the only way 
you will lean is if you are going really really fast. If you're like me and 
like tight curves (35 mph and less) then the road to take in Arkansas is 
341.

North Central and North Western Arkansas are the most awesome places I've 
ever been for riding the tighter more technical curves. Better than anyplace 
in Colorado, or western South Dakota. They don't get the freeze/thaw as bad 
as other places, so the roads are in great condition. There is very little 
traffic. I've never ridden in Deal's Gap, so I can't compare Arkansas to the 
Eastern US, but from the info on this list, it sounds like there is alot of 
traffic in Deal's Gap.

I feel like an oddball(for more reasons than 1), but if I'm having a truly  
enjoyable ride, I don't even see the scenery because I'm concentrating on 
the thrill of the curves and making sure the road is safe. I could care less 
about taking pictures of beautiful scenery. I want the pure satisfaction of 
executing the curves perfectly.
