Welcome to the Pie Ride!

Keo, Arkansas • Saturday, December 5, 2026

Nestled in Southern Lonoke County (SoLoCo), Keo is a bike-friendly town of just 207 residents that knows how to roll out the welcome mat. We’re glad you’re here to ride, celebrate, and of course—eat pie!

Start Line

The ride begins at 10:00 AM sharp from the Keo Airstrip on Pecan Road. The airstrip is located just half a mile east of town at the intersection of Pecan Road and Cemetery Road.

Packet Pickup

When: Wednesday, December 2
Where: Moody Brews 414 E. 21st Street, Pettaway Square, Little Rock, AR.
Time: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Your packet includes your rider bag, which doubles as a drop bag on ride day.

Ride Morning

Check-In: Look for the Keo Collective at the Airstrip. They’ll get you to the start line on the runway. *Note, there will be a single toilet available at the Airstrip, please plan accordingly, extra facilities available a half mile west at the Festival.
Drop Bags: Write your name clearly on your bag and place any post-ride clothes or gear inside. Volunteers will transport it to the official Finish Line in downtown Keo at the Arkansas Pecan Festival.

Finish Line Celebration

The ride officially ends in Keo, right in the heart of the Arkansas Pecan Festival. Secure your bike in the secure bike area, grab a Moody Brews pour, and savor your well-earned slice of pecan pie. Stick around to enjoy the festival’s car show, vendors, entertainment, and holiday cheer.

Important Note: Riders registering the morning of the event are not guaranteed pie after the ride.

After the Festival

When you’ve had your fill of pie and fun, noodle back at your own pace to the Keo Airstrip to retrieve your vehicle. Don’t forget to collect your drop bag with your kit, helmet, and shoes before heading out.
