Byway Boogie
Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
November 7-8, 2025
The Byway Boogie event is over 30 years old and has been held is various locations throughout central and NW Arkansas. This year’s event will return to its starting place in Hot Springs Village Ar. Hot Springs Village is a gated
unincorporated community of approximately 16k residents majestically located on the south edge of the Ouachita
national forest and about 10-15 miles north of Hot Springs and the National Park.
WE COME TO RIDE! But there is some scenic stuff too. For the street riders, you can ride over the highest point in the state at Mount Magazine (2753 ft), through the Petit Jean State Park, or just the mountain passes that lace the
country side. WANTA GET DIRTY? We got that too! Bring your ADV bike and cris-cross the landscape with views of Lake Ouachita “Wash AH TAW” and other scenic vistas along the way.

RALLY REGISTRATION
ROUTES & DESTINATIONS
AVAILABLE TO REGISTERED RIDERS!
We have assembled both street and ADV routes. With the Fall temperatures and daylight savings time ending 11/2/25, we have kept most of the published routes under 300 miles including a lunch stop. If you want to get out further, just either combine a couple routes or check with me and I can provide some local guidance. Being that the hotel is located in the Ouachita national forest and the creatures come out as the sun sets, I recommend you be back to the hotel before dark.
Routes are available for download in .GPX format for both Garmin and Non-Garmin devices.
We have included both Street & ADV routes. The page also contains links to interesting stuff along the routes as well various suggested food stops. Ride the route, mix and match segments, or just head out in any direction from the rally HQ and you will find fantastic roads, food and scenery.
LOOKING FOR A GROUP RIDE OR RIDING BUDDIES?
WE COME TO RIDE!! This is a riding event, no poker events, no vendors, just good riding, a bit of fellowship, bench racing and maybe a few stories.
One great thing about rallies is meeting up with new and old friends to ride with. Most group rides at MSTA events stay small and typically fill up with likeminded riders. The club has developed a form, with some basic information, in an attempt to connect folks looking to lead, join a ride or just make a new riding buddy. With permission, this information will be printed and available at the venue.
Anyone will be able to grab a photo of the list and easily connect. The list will also be available to the organizers prior to the rally and we will attempt to connect folks with ride leaders or small groups.
SATURDAY GROUP DINNER - TBD
Info will be posted soon.
