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 (America/Chicago) | 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!

This isn’t a normal road ride and this isn’t a normal gravel ride. This is also not a race! This is a ride for those that love to ride their bicycle on quiet, low-traffic county roads.
There are 4 route options in total.
3 of the routes will have pavement and gravel.
For those pure roadies, there is 1 route that is all pavement.
“Groad” refers to a route that has both road (pavement) and gravel.
Gravel + Road = Groad
The links to each route is below.
We highly recommend downloading the route you plan to ride on your bike computer so you don’t get lost! While we will have the routes marked with signs/arrows, but it’s always best to have the route on your computer! It’s possible that you may not see a sign!

***If you’ve only ever ridden road (pavement) and you’re trying to decide if your skinny 25 mm or 28 mm tires would be safe on the gravel, we do NOT recommend it! You will most likely get a flat! It’s best to ride any dirt and/or gravel roads with at least 35 mm wide TUBELESS tires. However, even a 35 mm tire is considered skinny these days! Many gravel riders prefer 40+ mm tubeless tires. For the groad routes, we personally prefer 42-45 mm wide tubeless tires and run fairly low tire pressure: 28-30 psi. So if you don’t have a bicycle that will accommodate a wider tire, ride the 33-mile road only route.

Loop De Loop
2026-11-14 08:00 - 17:00 | Blowing Springs, 70 Sugar Creek Center,, Bella Vista, 72714, United States

It’s about preparation, dedication, and crossing the finish line.
Expect about 5,500 feet of climbing through 50 miles of wooded singletrack, with every rider earning bragging rights and a heart full of memories. The grassroots community pushes you to conquer fear and finish stronger, together.
The Course
The Loop de Loop Challenge spans 50 miles of Bella Vista’s scenic singletrack, hammering through the Back 40 and Tunnel Vision loops. With over 5,500 feet of climbing, the chert and scrabbly trails demand relentless focus to reach the finish.
