I guess I should have said you don't have to only go into the Ozarks for some roads to ride.
A good short ride would be to Mt. Magazine. Take 71 south out of FS to my neck of the woods. Head east on AR 10 through Greenwood and Booneville until you get to Havana.
Turn left and take 309 up to the park. Turn left off 309 into the park and check out the lodge.
Then continue on 309 down to Paris. Turn left onto AR 22 in Paris and ride west back to FS. Not a long ride but enjoyable.

Consider Talihima Drive in the Ouachitas. Ride from FS through Poteau, OK and take US 271 south towards Talahina. 7 miles north of Talihina is the junction with OK 1.
That's Talihima Scenic Drive. The road conditions will be fair at best in many locations but it's a nice 50+ mile ride across the top of Winding Stair mountain to Mena, AR.
You can stop at the Queen Wilihima State Park for lunch.
