Just curious if the ride with GPS stats are correct for the various loops and main 1000mi loop. Descriptions say 50/50 gravel and pavement and ACA says hard tail or full squish might be appropriate, but RWGPS stats say like 30% gravel. Even if it's nasty gravel, I wouldn't want to over bike 70% of the total ride. A lot of times RWGPS routes are off, especially if not corrected or road data doesn't exist.
RWGPS has gotten better with surfsce data but it's not 100%.
Also, if anyone has a corrected map, I'd love or see it.
Finally, how technical is the lake Ouchita single track option. I rode in Arkansas in college (actually started the cycling team) but I don't remember specifics and to be honest, likely a lot of those trails are better than they were back then. We mostly rode multi-use trails and forest roads that weren't really designed for bikes. Shit I wouldn't even ride today on a modem bike.
