SUMMARY:Trail of Tears Remembrance Ride
DESCRIPTION: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.\nRemembrance 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. \nAll entry fees will be donated to the Cherokee Nation Foundation. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nThe 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 \nPlease see the following routes: \n\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/53659411?privacy_code=5L6GDjQAcRKNRfmTmCfFzDFkCsNHqUTo\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/53781133?privacy_code=NJcJ8zCVQq5Ht8pcdZwKeQdCHeqoMzAW\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/53776809\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/54162737\n\nPhat 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. \nThe main camping areas that the group and the Phat Tire Crew will be staying at is Eagle Bluff Resort = https://www.eaglebluffresort.com/ \n**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. \nRoute 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.

This race is part of the AMBCS series\, is sanctioned by USAC\, and utilizes Wolf’s Den and Karst Loop Trails. \nAs always\, kids race free (ages 14 & under\, racing in the 14 & under categories) \nThanks to Adventure Subaru’s sponsorship\, these registration fees are covered in a continued effort to make mountain biking more accessible for our youth.

SUMMARY:99 Miles of Bad Road
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAll finishers will receive a cool memento! Top 3 in each category will receive a unique custom award. \nOh\, 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. \nCheck the website and Facebook regularly for updates! \n————– \n-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 \n-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! \n-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. \n-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. \n– 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!
