GPS Routes for the 2014 Ozarks BS (Bull Shoals) Rally

[magna]

 Fellow MSTA'ers,
Thanks to Norm Kern, we now have GPS Routes for the 2014 Ozarks BS Rally.
If you are coming to the Rally, and would like to have them, just send an Email to:  Magna@centurytel.net  and we'll send them to you.
See you all There!
Ride Safe,

Are these the same routes we'll be using for STAR 2015?
How about putting them in the downloads section?

No they will be entirely different routes and will be posted I'm guessing later in the member's only area.

Executive Summary answer to the question: No, the BS routes will not work for STAR.

Detailed Info: First, it's 137 miles from the Bull Shoals Rally HQ at Theodosia to Springdale, AR. None of the BS routes go through Springdale.  The closest one is the Bull Shoals BW313 route which comes to within 54 miles of Springdale.

I suppose you could ride from Springdale to the BW313 route, do the route, then ride back, but that would be a 421 mile day. That would be a Very Long Day, given those roads. Of course, you would still have to redo the BW313 route to have it start & finish where you would join it coming out of Springdale.

Am not sure who is doing the GPS routes for STAR, but confident it will be in good hands. The AR roads are fantastic!

The BW313 route referred to in my post was done by Bill Wing. It's one of the best routes I ride all year, and I attend most MSTA rallies. Bill's routes are not to be missed!
