A tweaked back had me almost bail on this one. But I decided that if I just give it a shot I might make it the whole way. In the end I realized that it was good opportunity to slow down a bit, to look around and meet some new people. Hots Springs is a gravel and trail hotspot worth checking out, it not only has trail town charm but cool off bike offerings, coffee shops, brewery art and old buildings.
