Ozarks Run
Three days….thousands of curves…no wasted miles.
Departing Gassville, this ride is built as a continuous, rider-focused experience through the Ozark Mountains—prioritizing flow, technical challenge, and road quality over sightseeing or downtime. Using a strict, “Dragon-style” standard for counting only true direction-changing turns—similar to Tail of the Dragon—the full route delivers an estimated 2,000 to 2,700 technical curves across three days of riding.
Day 1 establishes the tone with a dense mix of elevation and rhythm, anchored by roads like Push Mountain Road and the tight, transitional terrain between Harriet and Tilly. Expect sustained engagement and minimal straight-line recovery. Day 2 raises the intensity, pushing deeper into the Ozarks with some of the most technical pavement in the region, including Arkansas Highway 123 and stretches of Arkansas Highway 7—delivering the highest concentration of true corners on the trip. Day 3 transitions into a more controlled, experience-driven finish, routing through Eureka Springs, across the Missouri line, and back toward the shores of Bull Shoals Lake, blending flowing roads with key stops to close out the ride.
This is not a sightseeing tour. It’s a precision-built route designed for riders who value control, consistency, and the kind of road that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish.
