After comments I have heard/read about Hwy 5 (Wolcott Road), I was expecting more of a challenge. I ride a Softail Classic, which is not made for attacking twisties. Except for the numerous sideroads/driveways, this was pretty much ho hum. If you really want a ride; try Hwy 7, 21, 23 in Ar, or The Talimena Drive In South East Ok/Western Ar.

I actually ran down this route last year by mistake. I agree with Whizzkid that it has some good twisties close to town. It's great if you only have a few hours to ride.

For the roads in this area this is a fun ride to do some leaning in the corners. Traffic can build up as many bikers in the area are after the same thrill.
