September 26, 2011 (Queen Wilhelmina Lodge, AR)
Photos from day 16, McAlester OK to Queen Wilhelmina Lodge AR. 100 miles with 7500 feet of hard climbing. Highlight of the day was all of the brutal climbing on the second half of the ride, over the Talimena National Scenic Byway. Many steep climbs ranging from 9 to 13%.
