I have heard that there is a Red loop at Syllamo but can't find a map of it. Does anyone here have any information on this? I have a map of Green, Orange, Blue, and Yellow. Also, any info on the condition of this trail? I'm intrested because I here its great for new guys. I tried the Arkansas EZ board but EZ is not so EZ. You need a password, a secret word, and the blood of a virgin to post something.:madman:

There is a new trailmap at the Syllamo's Revenge Race website: http://www.wrmccycling.com/syllamosrevenge/Maps/maps.html

The red loop is very beginner friendly. Not technical at all, and no prolonged up or downhills. I rode it about a month ago, it was in fantastic condition. It should drain well, so no change with rain (which there hasn't been much of anyway).

I have tried to open that link a few times but I cant open it. Not sure if its connection speed or if I need some kind of update or what. Where is the trailhead and how long is it? Thanks again.

Yeah, I think it is almost 8 MB's, so a slow speed may have trouble. But it's a good map if you can find a way to open it. It's on the 3rd trailhead up Green Mountain Road. I'm not sure the name of the trailhead, but it is posted at the start of Green Mountain Rd. off of the highway. It's several miles up. As I recall, the trail is 12 or 13 miles if ridden around the outside loop, but there are 2 cutoffs where you can make shorter loops out of it. I started out going across the road from the parking lot, that takes you in a counter cw loop, then stayed right at each fork so that I wouldn't take the cutoff. Have fun.

Finally!

I just opened it up last night and when I woke up this morning it had opened the file. Pretty good Topo in it too. Great day here in the natural state! T-storms moved through last night and now a little cool front is passing. Too bad my bike is still in lay a way.
