PLEASE Turn Pages 3 and 4 of this packet in at opening dinner or when you arrive. 8. There are very few places to stop for refreshments along these routes. We strongly encourage those that can to pack a small packable ice chest in a saddlebag or tour pak and carry your own soft drinks, water and or snacks on each day s ride. 9. This packet includes maps the four daily scheduled rides, and their scenic return routes. For additional maps not on the schedule, and other information, go to If you would like to download a Garmin GPS file of all of the routes to this event, you can download the single file from our event page at: Daily Ride Schedule: Due to the size of the event, and the inability for most eateries to accommodate all at once, All daily rides will officially END at their destination city limits. Eat where you want, and make your own way back individually, in smaller groups, or join the road captain for a group ride back at a time to be announced during each day s pre-ride briefing. Tuesday: Scenic Ride to Eureka Springs. (76 Miles one-way). Riders may opt for a Golden Gate Loop after lunch, head over to Pig Trail Harley shop in nearby Rogers, take a scenic ride back to the Hub or head straight back via Hwy 62 and Harrison. Wednesday: Pig Trail Ride to Altus (113 Miles one-way). Ride Arkansas most famous motorcycle road! Thursday: Mountain Towns Ride: (118 Miles one-way). We ll take a twisty, scenic ride down to Mountain View. If you re up for more curves and a long ride back the scenic ride will give you plenty more, otherwise, relax and enjoy the 81 mile quick ride back. Friday: Hwy 123/Clarksville Loop: One of the best roads to ride a bike on in the state of Arkansas. Lunch at Clarksville. Return north on Hwy 21. For those who wish to stretch Friday for all it s worth, Mt. Nebo is about 35 miles south of Clarksville, so we ve added a long route option to return to the HUB which includes a trip up the mountain and back to the HUB via Hwy 7 from Russellville. Closing ceremonies and dinner at the Hub at 7:00 p.m. that evening. Page 2 of 10

This Release extends to any and all claims I have or later may have against the "RELEASED PARTIES" resulting from or arising out of their performance of their duties whether or not such claims result from negligence (except willful neglect) on the part of any or all of the "RELEASED PARTIES" with respect to the EVENT or with respect to the conditions, qualifications, instructions, rules or procedures under which the EVENT(S) are conducted or from any other cause. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MEANS THAT I AGREE NOT TO SUE ANY OR ALL OF THE "RELEASED PARTIES" FOR ANY INJURY RESULTING TO MYSELF OR MY PROPERTY ARISING FROM, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ORGANIZING, PLANNING, CONDUCTING OR PARTICIPATING IN THIS EVENT.

5 ANNOUNCEMENTS: Credit Cards - Try to use credit cards with all your gas, snack and meal purchases. This will avoid delays at the pumps (pay at pump when possible) and prevent the cash registers from running out of small change. If you rarely use your credit card, you may want to call the company and let them know that you are traveling in this area so they won't think your card was stolen and lock it down. Rain Rules - If it s raining, we don't roll. If we get wet on a ride, we don't care. Rain is always a possibility here. If you can't see the sun, have your rain gear on because we cannot stop the entire group for wardrobe changes. Lane Hait will again be offering great prices on custom molded ear plugs and headsets for the Rendezvous week. He will only have a few molding kits with him, so first come, first served. Get'em while they are cheap! SAFETY GUIDELINES: 1. Helmets are optional for the state of Arkansas. Surrounding states require them. Be prepared. 2. Formation: Single file (secondary roads) and Staggered (open highways) - Fill gaps by swapping tracks after hand signaling. Stay 2-3 seconds behind the rider directly in front of you. Absolutely no side-by-side riding on the group rides! 3. Point to hazards in the road with a hand or foot so those behind you will have advance warnings. 4. No Slingshotting (lagging back, then shooting forward) 5. Park in straight lines behind and beside lead bike on scenic stops. This will save a lot of time and effort with stopping and starting. 6. Less experienced and less aggressive riders up front behind the lead captains. However, all group riders should posses the skills to ride these roads at or slightly above speed limits and be comfortable in a large group environment. 7. Road Captains in front, Road Captains in rear, Road Captains in the middle. Everyone else rides between the Captains. No exceptions. 8. Problem bikes stop. All others continue on. Rear Captains will provide assistance. 9. Personal stops just flag the rear captains on by, then rejoin the group at the next stop if you wish. 10. Keep your brain working!! Kickstands, kill switches and petcocks are often overlooked on group events. 11. Turn off Spot lights if possible. (except Road Captains) 12. Ride Responsibly. We are not here to improve or test our skills, but to enjoy the ones we already have. 13. Tires and Brakes: Mountain and group riding is tough on tires and brakes. Check yours well before coming and often during the week. 14. Park your bike in first gear to prevent roll-offs, and remember that it s in gear when you crank it! Page 5 of 10
