SUMMARY:SHAM Mini Series of Cyclocross
DESCRIPTION:Come play bikes with us! \nBut…What is cyclocross anyway?! \nWeellll…it’s kinda like if a road bike and a mountain bike and a cross country running event all got mashed together! \nCyclocross is the best spectator friendly cycling event there is. ‘Cross races are held on short 1.5 to 2 mile laps that will mostly consist of grass and sometimes mud but can include sand\, artificial barriers\, hills\, off camber sections\, forced runs\, and just about any dumb thing we can find in the park to make the race more fun to do but also to watch! We strive to make the race fun for everyone that comes out; from beginners and youth racers to the most experienced elite racers in Arkansas but especially to spectators! SHAM endeavors to make as much of the race course visible from as many spots along the way as possible\, but especially at the start/finish line so you can cheer on  your friends and family and all the other racers out for a fun day in the sun…or mud…or maybe snow…but almost definitely sand and grass! \nSHAM Mini Series of Cyclocross \nDates: October 4th\, 8th and 11th\nVenue: War Memorial Park\, 5511 W Markham St\, Little Rock\, AR 72205 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDATE AND TIME \n\n\nCATEGORY \n\n\nFIELD \n\n\nDURATION \n\n\nENTRY \n\n\nAWARDS \n\n\n\n\n10/4/25 10 AM \n\n\nCat 4/Novice Men \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/4/25 10 AM \n\n\nCat 4/Novice Women \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/4/25 11 AM \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4 Men \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/4/25 11 AM \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4 Women \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/8/25 5 PM \n\n\nCat 4/Novice Men \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/8/25 5 PM \n\n\nCat 4/Novice Women \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/8/25 6 PM \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4 Men \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/8/25 6 PM \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4 Women \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/11/25 10 AM \n\n\nCat 4/Novice Men \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/11/25 10 AM \n\n\nCat 4/Novice Women \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/11/25 11 AM \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4 Men \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n10/11/25 11 AM \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4 Women \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$30 prereg\, $35 race day \n\n\nSeries Winner Prizes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeries Points \n\n\nFirst through Fifth \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6\, 4\, 3\, 2\, 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirections: Exit 630 onto University going North.

SUMMARY:2025 RAT 1000 and Mini RAT
DESCRIPTION:RAT 1000 Mile Gravel Stage Race\, RAT 1000 Self Supported Group Departure for ITT\, RAT 1000 mile gravel stage party\, Mini RAT & Tiny RAT. Plan to join us because these will be memories that last forever. \nPlease note that the expectation is for all riders to adhere to the Traffic Codes for each state that they ride in at all times. Failure to operate bicycles safely and properly can lead to disqualification. Littering can lead to disqualification. Trespassing can lead to disqualification and might also get you shot. Don’t do any of these things. More details soon! \nPlanned RAT Stage Race/Party Distances (subject to modification). This is for the folks who want to travel as a group and gather together at the same overnight location each night. \nStage 1 Saturday 6am Start from Texarkana\n140 miles\, 2852ft\, ends in Paris \nStage 2 Sunday Start TBD\n127 miles\, 3700ft\, ends in Denison \nStage 3 Monday Start TBD\n141 miles\, 4782ft\, ends in Henrietta \nStage 4 Tuesday Start TBD\n125 miles\, 2330ft\, ends in Vernon \nStage 5 Wednesday Start TBD\n104 miles\, 2417ft\, ends in Childress \nStage 6 Thursday Start TBD (please note\, this could change to Tulia)\n102 miles\, 4511ft\, ends in Silverton (camping only) \nStage 7 Friday Start TBD\n124 miles\, 2188ft\, ends in Vega \nStage 8 Saturday Start TBD\n139 miles\, 3333ft\, ends in Tucumcari \nSelf Supported ITT is essentially “Tour Divide” rules. Riders are only allowed to utilize assistance available to the general public under normal business and agency operating conditions. The clock starts as soon as the rider starts and doesn’t end until the rider finishes. Live tracking is required as well as publicly available tracking logs. Approved assistance exceptions are typically allowed during Group Depart week from approved “Trail Angels”. \nMini RAT is for anyone who wants to follow the RAT route with no expectation of completing the full route. Ride as many (or as few) as fits into your schedule. We have a single weekend route for people who want to pedal back to DFW: Mini RAT Day 1 140 Miles Texarkana to Paris\nMini RAT Day 2 110 miles Paris to Rowlett Train Station. \nThe Tiny RAT is a 150 mile lollipop from Farmersville to Paris and back which primarily utilizes the NETT. Saturday night overnight in Paris is included which offers the opportunity to socialize with the RAT riders as they come into Paris. Please note\, this is not an “easy” ride. 75 miles each day is likely to feel more like 100 on these sections of the NETT. Self navigation capability is EXTREMELY important. We will provide the route but it will not be verified before hand. It is likely that on the fly adjustments to the route may be needed\, particularly in the case of inclement weather.

SUMMARY:Tour de Pumpkin
DESCRIPTION:The 17 mile route will be the same as previous years. An aid station will be available in London at the old City Hall parking lot. \nThe 30 mile route has two deviations from previous years’ route. This year the route will turn left on Whorton Mountain Rd off of Will Baker Rd\, then turn right on Martin Chapel School Rd. This change will bypass a section of hwy 333 and avoid an area known to have aggressive dogs.  A new location for an aid station will be at Martin Chapel. Restrooms will be available. The second deviation is from Mill Creek Rd at East Point Baptist Church. Turn right onto Bailey Loop and follow to the end and turn right onto Mill Creek Rd. This change is to avoid Mill Creek Rd that has seen increased vehicle traffic with no shoulder. \nThis years event is purposefully minimal with no T-shirt and a lower registration fee. Efforts are underway to drastically improve the Tour de Pumpkin event for 2026 through a joint cooperative committee and business sponsorship. The goal is to offer a quality supported event with a post ride meal\, t-shirt\, swag bag\, and improved routes and aid stations. \nStarting at 10 am a balance bike course will be available in Downtown (at Denver and B Street) for children under 8 years old. This is a free course complete with bikes and helmets. \nCostumes are highly encourage for all participants.
