Sky Road

Posted: April 15th, 2007 | Author: admin | Filed under: 50StateRide | 5 Comments »

This road is one of the best I’ve ever ridden. On the border between Oklahoma and Arkansas, the OK 1 / AR 88 was really a treat. This picture shows the steep elevation changes and path along the ridgeline. I think the whole thing was about 45 miles, but it sure seemed farther. Like the much longer Blue Ridge, no trucks are allowed, so only cars and bikers take this out of the way route. Thanks to the off-season I pretty much had the whole thing to myself. The road itself is amazing and the views are outstanding. I stopped at almost every pull off to look at the valleys below on both sides.
