Nice and helpful list.

Has anybody heard anything about the arkansas fall color ride? I know that it is supposed to be a, "unofficial ride", but thought that maybe ride information would be posted somewhere by now. Is is usually the 3rd weekend in October?

If you find an "unofficial" date, let me know and I'll add it to the list. Since the Fall Color Tour route files are freely distributed and so many people know them now, I think a lot of people just go and ride it when they want without trying to coordinate a large, public ride.

DOH! All the 2010 Rides listed above are history! Time to update this thing with some 2011 Rides...so send in the dates and details as you discover them.
