Thank You for Making STAR 2026 So Special!

Dear MSTA Family,

What a week! Jamie and I want to thank every one of you who joined us for STAR 2026 in Springdale, Arkansas. With 201 attendees, it was a wonderful gathering of the people who make this club so special.

The roads were amazing, and somehow the weather was even better! But what we’ll remember most is seeing old friends reconnect, new friendships take shape, and riders return with stories, smiles, and plans for the next day’s adventure. It was a magical event, and you were the reason why.

Having 170 riders join the lunch ride was a highlight. What a great way to share a meal, enjoy the roads, and spend time together. We hope you headed home understanding why we love riding in the Natural State so much.

To all of our volunteers, the Arkansas MSTA gang, and everyone who helped make STAR a success, thank you. From planning routes and leading rides to welcoming members, handling registration, helping with door prizes, and taking care of countless details, your time and effort made this week possible. We are proud of this team and grateful for everything you contributed.

Hosting STAR was a lot of work, but seeing everyone enjoying themselves made it worthwhile. We hope you left with great memories, a few new friends, and the feeling that your trip to Arkansas was time well spent.

Thank you for letting us share our little corner of the country with you. See you all next year in Huntington, West Virginia!

With gratitude,

Jerry & Jamie James
