If you’re traveling by camper van, there is a gravel lot near the camping that is first come first serve. If you’re traveling by RV please park at a different location and ride your bike to the race. There will be no RV parking anywhere on the road or field. The closest RV campground is at Blowing Springs Park in Bella Vista.

RO3 Merch
We make a generous donation to Arkansas NICA from the sale of every single piece of merch, so you can wear your gear knowing you helped get MORE KIDS ON BIKES!

PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE:
1. Time cutoff

Rule of Three is not your average 115 mile bike ride. Think road race, meets gravel, meets MTB, meets adventure race all rolled into one! Our course takes significantly longer to complete than an average 115 mile gravel event. If you’ve never done this race before and you’re not sure if you can complete a 115 mile RO3 route in less than 12 hours, we strongly suggest that you choose the 60 mile option-it’s still a beast!
For the 115 miler, we will have a time “check out” on course that you must pass by a certain time. If you haven’t made the time cutoff you’ll need to call for someone for a ride or wait for our Broomwagon, 37 North Expeditions, to come pick you up.
We want you to stand up to the challenge but we must keep the safety of all our riders top priority. We aim to have the last riders finish by 8pm.

2. Teams
115 and 60 mile 3 person teams take off (time trial style) in 1 minute increments. The team rides the route together, stopping at checkpoints to gather their “proof” and they must finish together.
3. Age Limit
If a rider U14 (13 years and younger) wants to ride at The Rule of Three, the rider will need to register under the U14 + Adult category and ride together with that adult during Rule of Three. The Rule of Three routes incorporate road, gravel and singletrack. Riders will need to ride alongside cars and have intermediate to advanced experience in all disciplines and be well versed with the rules of the road.
4. Inclement Weather Policy
Rule of Three will happen if the “creek don’t rise” and if it does we’ll route around it! Northwest Arkansas weather can be unpredictable to say the least. Come prepared for freezing and hot temps. Blue skies and dark skies. Dry and wet conditions. Buckle up…no matter what, it’ll be a fun ride!
5. Routes
The Rule of Three routes are new every year and we try to hold off on route revelations until right before the event….the element of surprise is a nice touch.

RYDB Fest - Community Overnighter
2026-05-22 - 2026-05-24 | Lake Wedington, 15689 Lake Wedington Entry Rd, Fayetteville, AR, 72704, United States
The Ride Your Damn Bike Festival is back — and once again we’re inviting you to ride your damn bike, any damn way you want.
Patrick Farnsworth of Bikes or Death will be leading a beginner-friendly, lightly supported, no-drop community overnighter as part of a weekend full of riding, learning, and good times.
This year we’re riding the Lake Wedington Loop — a classic route from the Bikepacking Roots Fayetteville Route Network that heads west of Fayetteville on mostly gravel roads into the rolling oak woodlands of the Ozark National Forest and Lake Wedington Recreation Area.
Expect quiet backroads, gentle hills, beautiful scenery, and optional rocky singletrack adventures on the return.
There are no stores on route — riders should plan to carry all food and snacks from Fayetteville. Water will be available at camp.
This ride is designed for riders curious about bikepacking, first overnighters, or anyone looking for a supportive adventure with a great community.

What “Beginner Friendly” Means
We will ride together at a relaxed pace and create a supportive environment — but this is still an adventure ride.
You can expect:

Ride leads and sweepers (no one left behind)
ProSlow pace (10–12 mph moving average)
Mandatory regroup stops
Mechanic support for minor repairs
SAG vehicle available if you need assistance or a ride to camp

Riders should still plan to be self-supported — carry your own food, water, clothing, and camping gear. A packing list will be provided before the event.
Expect long stretches without services and variable conditions — preparation is part of the experience.

Route Options
Both routes ride together to camp on Day 1. On Day 2 you can choose your adventure.
You can decide which option to take at camp — no need to commit ahead of time.

Trail of Tears Remembrance Ride
2026-06-20 - 2026-06-21 | Pea Ridge Bike Camp, 10542 Blue Jay Rd, Pea Ridge, 72751, United States
We remember the Trail of Tears to acknowledge the humanity of those who suffered and the grave injustice committed against sovereign peoples. This remembrance ride is not about assigning collective modern-day guilt, but about collective modern-day responsibility. History, unexamined, repeats its patterns of dehumanization and marginalization.
Remembrance facilitates essential change and discussion. It forces us to examine how systemic power can be used to silence, displace, and erase entire cultures. By confronting this legacy, we open dialogues about ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities today. I challenge every rider to be a beacon of hope and change that inspires society.
All entry fees will be donated to the Cherokee Nation Foundation.
The Remembrance Ride serves as a respectful complement to the Remember the Removal Ride by focusing on public awareness and broader participation while honoring the latter’s status as a foundational youth leadership program. We also recognize that the Remember the Removal Ride is a much more challenging journey than this event.
The Route retraces the Trail of Tears from Pea Ridge, AR to Tahlequah, OK. This is a one-way route. If you choose to not complete the out and back route then you are responsible for your own transportation.
This is a self-supported ride – riders are responsible for their own food, water, navigation, and repairs. The event will be held on roads that are open to vehicular traffic. Bright colors and bike lights are recommended to improve safety and visibility.
The start location = Pea Ridge Bike Camp 10542 Blue Jay Rd, Pea Ridge, AR 72751. The Grand Depart will be at 8 AM on June 20th 2026. Participants are encouraged to camp overnight at the Pea Ridge Bike Camp if they would like to. The cost is $30 and reservations can be made through Hipcamp.com using the UR code. Cash payments will be accepted on-site. Outdoor showers and a bike wash station are available for those opting to camp. There will be courtesy parking available for all participants throughout the weekend at no cost. https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/arkansas-pea-ridge-bike-camp-xryhkd7n?adults=1&children=0&srid=b516f1c2-043f-4057-869f-bddba26de178

Phat Tire Bike Shop is sponsoring the event: Phat Tire will provide a support van to transport camping gear to the overnight location for semi-supported participants. The van will have limited capacity and is intended to help reduce carried weight for riders. It will NOT function as an official SAG vehicle or follow the slowest rider along the route. Phat Tire staff will also be available at camp locations to provide basic technical support as needed.
The main camping areas that the group and the Phat Tire Crew will be staying at is Eagle Bluff Resort = https://www.eaglebluffresort.com/
**Once registered I highly recommend reserving a campsite along the Illinois River as these sites are extremely popular during kayaking/rafting season and will book quickly. Please refer to the RideWithGPS links to research camping websites and book online.
Route surface description: The section from Pea Ridge to Fayetteville incorporates gravel and paved Greenway. Fayetteville to Tahlequah incorporates singletrack, chunky gravel roads, and low-traffic paved roads. If completing the entire route a tire width of 45 mm+ is recommended.

Your registration fee benefits The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope program. This program provides individualized services to families with children who desire to take action to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability that repeats generation after generation. It seeks to address the root causes of poverty in addition to The Army’s history of compassionate serving. By helping families overcome challenges like unemployment, unstable housing, and lack of education, we can lead families down a path toward increased stability and, ultimately, self-sufficiency.
Join us for a family friendly, multi “bike”, ride in our beautiful Hot Springs!
You will have the option to ride your road bike only, MTB only, or BOTH!! Yes, we will have routes that include both road AND mountain. We will have a shuttle for your bikes at the exchange location.
After you have worked up a good appetite come celebrate your finish at our After Party. (Farmers Market) Your “tour” registration includes food and drink, t-shirt, and other awesome swag. (Family Ride includes Finisher Medal, food and drink only) We have put in a lot of time into planning, and months of meetings to bring you a fun unique experience in our beautiful city on your bike!
Come enjoy music, food, and drinks provided by The Salvation Army Canteen, and good family fun! Not riding? No worries! You can buy a ticket to the after party and join in on the festivities by being a virtual rider.

Full Tour de Salvation
If you plan to ride the Full Tour route, you have the option to bring two different bikes. Many riders will ride the road route with a road bike (or gravel bike) and then switch to their mountain bike (MTB). Or you can complete the entire ride on your MTB! If you plan to switch bikes, remember to bring the shoes you need for each bike! You will need to “check in” your mountain bike and MTB shoes by 6:45 am on the day of the event. Your MTB will be shuttled to the switch point. Once you switch bikes at the trail, you will leave your road bike at the switch point and it will be shuttled back to the start point. After completing the mountain bike trail ride at the Pullman Trailhead, you will simply ride your MTB on the road for 2.5 miles back through downtown (bathhouse row) to the Farmer’s Market.

All 3-HR/6-HR racers will start the race at noon, the cut-off time to finish your last lap will be 3pm/6pm sharp. There will be no cut-off time to start a lap but if you are not back at 3pm/6pm then that last lap does not count. It is up to teams and individual racers to decide on the timing of their last lap.
Team racers may ride as many laps consecutively as they wish; however, each racer from a team must complete at least one lap during the 3-hour/6-hour race.
If a member of a team has a mechanical issue or a crash that keeps them from completing the lap, they may call to get another rider out on the course. The rider who is out must check in with the timing director to cancel the lap (do not bring the timing chip near timing sensors).
Bike changes are allowed between laps, and no bans for a racer assisting another racer to fix a mechanical issue on the racecourse. Mechanical assistance from a non-racer may only be at the designated Coler mechanic pit tent area.
All racers waiting their turn must stay away from timing sensors to not “trip” their timing chip.
A racer or team must report DNFs as soon as possible to the Timing Director.
Race Results Contesting Period: 3:00pm-3:10pm/6:00-6:10 pm.
Allow 15 minutes after the race for results to be finalized.

99 Miles of Bad Road
2026-09-12 | Hardy City RV Park Campground, 3 North Spring Street, Hardy, 72542, United States
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 – 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. This is an ‘even year’ so we will be running the loops clockwise! Make sure you download the EVEN YEAR files.
All finishers will receive a cool memento! Top 3 in each category will receive a unique custom award.
Oh, and we also have a 199 Mile route option… all 199’ers will be required to provide their own live GPS tracking – either via phone, Garmin, Spot, etc.
Check the website and Facebook regularly for updates!
————–
-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 stops on the 99 mile route, and this year we will have a fully stocked aid station at the Mammoth Spring State Park around half way. We will update the Ride With GPS route maps to reflect the locations closer to race day. The 199’ers can use these as well – however a large portion of their route will be ‘DIY’. Watch the website for the 199 Route file to be uploaded – that will give you guys an idea of where to find what so you can start planning your water and food needs ahead of time.
-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.
– Despite the risk of people tampering with arrows/flagging, we WILL mark the 99 course this year, well enough in advance to prevent timing issues. This does mean that some markers could be moved or taken down by people, so you must make sure you have the right GPX file on your phone, watch, or computer. You are responsible for studying the route maps and navigating. That’s half the fun!

The River Classic
2026-09-12 08:00 - 15:00 | ACE Glass Manufacturing, 3101 Dugan St,, Little Rock, 72206, United States
RIVER CLASSIC SEPT. 12, 2026
In 2015, a small group of cyclists who wanted to support Young Life’s work in South Little Rock decided to organize a cycling fundraiser and what is now the Young Life River Classic was born. In the eleven years since, the event has grown from fewer than 50 riders to more than 300 in 2025.
Throughout, we’ve remained focused on two things:

Producing a USA Cycling sanctioned, well-supported event for cyclists of all levels, and
Supporting Young Life’s mission to serve teenagers from underserved communities south of Interstate 630.

Big Dam Bridge Training Program
The River Classic is again part of the Big Dam Bridge 100 official training program. Through a partnership with the Big Dam Bridge Foundation and Arvest Bank, participants in the Big Dam Bridge training program will ride the River Classic as a “Dress Rehearsal” for the BDB100 that is two weeks after our event. Find out more about the training program at www.thebigdambridge100.com.

What is the River Classic?

A USA Cycling-sanctioned, fully supported ride with great fun, food and fellowship
This is a fully supported ride, with on-site mechanics and SAG, well-stocked rest stops and route markers from RouteArrows to make navigation easier.
A ride with three distance options for every level of cyclists:

23.5 miles for beginners or those that just want to cruise
40.6 miles for those looking for a weekend challenge
63.6-mile route for experienced cyclists

Registration
Registration for the 2026 ride is now open!

Lunch will be provided after the ride by Corky’s!

Event Details
Packet Pick-up will have two options: 1) Friday, September 11 at Spokes bike shop in the Pleasant Ridge shopping center on Cantrell from 12-1:30 PM and 4:30-6:00 PM, or 2) Saturday, September 12 at the event venue at Ace Glass from 6:30-7:45 AM.
The 2026 River Classic will depart from the Ace Glass Corporate Headquarters (3101 Dugan Street, near the LR Airport) Saturday morning at 8am.
We will provide post-ride food and drinks, and all participants will receive a free photo from RBS Pics Photography!
All courses are well-marked by RouteArrows and we have several aid stations along the route where Young Life leaders and students will be ready to provide assistance.
All participants will receive an event t-shirt.
We hope to see you on Saturday, September 12!
