First Sunday Ride
The First Sunday Ride is a simple idea. Frank Webber of Shift Modern Cyclery and Joe Jacobs of ArkansasOutside.com wanted to carve out time each month to enjoy the local trails with friends. Instead of keeping it to themselves, they decided to open the invite to anyone who wants to join. This is a casual friends ride where new faces are welcome, good conversations happen, and the goal is to have fun on the dirt.
Each month, riders come together to explore local singletrack, meet fellow riders, and get to know the trails that make central Arkansas such a great place to ride. Frank and Joe love seeing new people show up, so if you are looking for a welcoming group to ride with, this is your chance.
The first ride will meet at the Equestrian Trailhead Parking Lot in Burns Park at 1 pm on Sunday, December 7, 2025. If the turnout is large, riders will split into A, B, and C groups so everyone can find the pace and style of ride that fits. Eat before you arrive, bring your helmet, and be ready to roll right at 1 pm.
If you have not tried the new and rebuilt trails at Burns Park, this is the perfect time to discover them. If you already know the system, then you know how much fun is waiting. Come ride, make new friends, and start your month with a good time on the trail.
Each rider is responsible for themselves on this ride.
