A group of us are going to be riding out of Arrowhead Cabin & Canoe in Caddo Gap, Arkansas on the Weekend of March 7,8 & 9. Like some other group rides note, this is not a sanctioned or organized ride but is simply a group of us wanting to enjoy riding and floating the Caddo River. Because of this, you are on your own regarding lodging, food and your choice of riding etc... The only cost is what you decide to do in terms of lodging, food and float rentals.
My brother owns Arrowhead Cabin and Canoe in Caddo Gap so it's certainly bike friendly. He has cabins, RV spots, a bunk house and tents spots. You can go to his site to view the area, get directions and make reservations if you need.

The original plan was to ride a full day Friday, 1/2 day Saturday and float in the afternoon. However, after the preride and visit to Arrowhead on 2-22, the river is quite low and whether it will be floatable is in question. The weather forecast is also calling for temps to still be quite cool, so the interest in floating may be limited. So, I believe the revised plan will be Free Ride Friday, big all day ride led by Oleary on Saturday and Free Ride or Float on Sunday if there is interest and the river level/weather cooperates.
I wasn't able to go on the pre ride so my plans have changed in that I will be riding my DRZ instead of the Tenere. Those that did ride said it was doable on the Tenere with only a couple of rocky sections.
I think it will be a good time for all either way.
