We’ll see you on the trail.
99 Miles of Bad Road is a gravel bicycle race starting and ending in Hardy, Arkansas. Expect every road surface type, with roughly 80% being unpaved. Don’t let the elevation profile of the GPX fool you – Garmin devices have picked up 100 feet or more of elevation gain per mile. These are relentless rolling hills with an occasional punchy climb or sketchy descent. Everything from mud, dirt, gravel, concrete bridges, clay, crushed limestone, creek rocks, broken pavement, and more. This route earns it’s name.
All finishers will receive a cool memento! Top 3 in each Category will receive awards. Overall winner will receive a unique custom award.
Oh, and we also have a 199 Mile route option…

-Both distances of this race are loop routes that start and end at Loberg Park in Hardy, Arkansas. Camping is available at the campground next door to the park. We have nothing to do with that, you’ll have to reserve with them here if you wish to camp: https://www.campspot.com/park/hardy-campground-rv-park
-Unless there are tornadoes, large hail, or extreme thunderstorms the day of the race, we will not cancel. Put your big boy/girl pants on, and ride!
-There will be some water drops and aid stations along the way, as well as a drop-bag option for the 199’ers. We will update the Ride With GPS route maps to reflect the locations closer to race day.
-You are solely responsible for your own safety. We will however require a headlight, flashlight, or headlamp, a whistle/horn, at least 2L of water capacity, and an emergency blanket/bivy, and either a phone, GPS, or Bicycle computer.
– We will make no claim as to whether the course will be marked or not. You are responsible for studying the route maps and navigating. That’s half the fun!
