SUMMARY:Dirt Movement - Twin Mountain Gravel
DESCRIPTION:Twin Mountain Gravel\n\nA festival celebration of dirt and community. Our goal with Dirt Movement events is to create courses and experiences that are shared\, as much as possible\, for all participants. It doesn’t matter if you’re running 3 miles or riding 50 miles. We are one community with one purpose – get outside and move. \nWhat else do we all have in common? We love to eat (a lot)\, drink (beer or buch)\, and be merry (rock out to local music). \n  \n\nFormat\nChoose to bike or run the quiet backroads tucked between Springdale and Fayetteville. \nRunners at Twin Mountain Gravel will get to share the same creek crossings\, punchy climbs and tree canopies as the cyclists. \nCyclists will have the option of two course distances. Each of those distances has 2 single-track options\, allowing you to choose your own adventure based on how you feel. These variations come once you enter Lake Wedington and the Ozark National Forest. Choose one\, two\, or none of the single track sections while not veering from the courses and being separated from your friends. \n  \nOfficial Rule of 3 Training ride!!\nWe have partnered with Rule of 3 in making this the only Official training ride. Rule of 3 is almost exactly one month after Twin Mountain Gravel\, take this opportunity to hone your singletrack skills\, test out your bike setup and build your stoke! \n\n\nWhat Is Included in Registration?\nYour ticket to ride\, and run\, on some quiet Northwest Arkansas’ backroads! These scenic roads are a beautiful place to lose yourself – or find yourself. Either way\, we know you’ll love the courses. \nSwag\nThere are a lot of events in Northwest Arkansas and we appreciate you choosing to participate in ours. We want your commemorative item to be something that you’ll actually wear and will serve you well. We will have hats\, beanies\, and socks to choose from at packet pickup. You decide what you like and need most. And hey\, buy a t-shirt if you like them as much as we do. \nAid Stations and On-Route Support\nEach route will have multiple aid stations brought to you by some of our partners like The Meteor\, Rapha\, and more. In addition to the stationary aid\, you’ll find vehicles on course to help you out if things don’t go as planned. We got you. \n  \nTiming\nThe event will be timed but it isn’t a race. Runners will receive an overall time for their efforts. Cyclists will have two timed segments on their courses. One is in the second singletrack section and the second is on a gravel climb. The only award you’ll receive is from yourself knowing that you participated in a good time. \n  \nYou’re the DJ on course!\nIn your confirmation email you will receive a link to a Spotify playlist. Add songs that inspire you\, make you want to shake it\, or bring you back to earth. These tunes will be jamming on course throughout the day. It’s your event. \n  \nLive Music\nFeaturing The Meadow Makers and more coming soon. Each Dirt Movement event will have live bands from all around the region. We will be announcing the rest of the line up as we get closer! \n  \nFood and Drink\nNothing can bring a community together like a shared meal. Sitting down to connect and exchange stories of the day’s adventures over a plate of hot food and free beer from local breweries is key to a good time. \n  \nRaffle Giveaways\nWe’ll be raffling off high-quality prizes throughout the day courtesy of our sponsors. Must be present to win!

If you’ve never done this race before and you’re not sure if you can complete a 110 mile RO3 route in less than 12 hours\, we strongly suggest that you choose the 50 mile option-it’s still a beast!\nFor the 110 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.\nWe 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.\n\n2.  200+ Mile Category:  \n\nBegin Friday\, May 16th and circumnavigate Beaver Lake\, hitting 4 different trail systems.  30 hr time cutoff.\nCompletely self-supported.  You will need to come prepared with everything you need to complete the race safely and successfully without support from Rule of Three or other people.  You’ll need to study the route\, find resupply stops (gas stations\, cafes\, etc.) for nutrition and bring a cell phone in case of emergency.\nYou’ll need to either own a SPOT or Garmin Inreach GPS device or rent one from Follow My Challenge.\nYou’ll need to complete your registration by signing up for tracking with Follow My Challenge.  Their fees are $30 for tracking (for those with their own devices) or $80 for those needing rental SPOT GPS devices and tracking.\nYou will receive an email with the link to register with Follow My Challenge after your Rule of Three registration.\nSolo or team of three.\n\nTeams \n110 and 50 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. \n200+ mile 3 person teams will ride the route together and must finish together.  One SPOT tracker needed per team. \nInclement Weather Policy \nRule 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! \nRoutes \nThe 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. \nFor more information head to www.ruleofthree.bike

SUMMARY:Ride of Silence - Little Rock
DESCRIPTION:​The Ride of Silence is an annual international cycling event that honors cyclists who have been injured or killed while riding on public roadways. Participants engage in a silent\, slow-paced ride—typically not exceeding 12 mph (20 km/h)—to raise awareness among motorists\, law enforcement\, and city officials about cyclists’ legal rights to share the road. ​ \nEstablished in 2003 by Chris Phelan in Dallas\, Texas\, the inaugural ride commemorated endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz\, who was fatally struck by a passing bus’s mirror. Although initially intended as a one-time event\, its poignant message resonated globally\, leading to its annual observance on the third Wednesday of May. By 2024\, the Ride of Silence had expanded to 239 locations worldwide\, encompassing 40 U.S. states\, 14 countries\, and 3 continents. \nParticipants are expected to wear helmets\, adhere to traffic laws\, and maintain silence throughout the ride\, fostering a solemn atmosphere of remembrance and advocacy. The event underscores the importance of sharing the road safely and respectfully among all users. ​

SUMMARY:The Skirmish
DESCRIPTION:A Delta Gravel Festival in Jonesboro\, Arkansas. \nThe Skirmish is more than just a cycling event\, it’s a celebration of the rugged beauty\, rich culture\, and tight-knit community of the Delta region. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to gravel cycling\, this festival offers something for everyone. The festival was created to embrace all aspects of gravel cycling with one main feature not found in the majority of gravel events; the tale of 2 rides. Riders will first traverse the rolling hills of Crowley’s Ridge\, similar to those found on the Ouachita and Ozark Mountain Regions.  Crowley’s Ridge is a 200-mile long ridge that was formed by wind\, water\, and ice over millions of years. It’s believed to have been an island between the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers that was isolated after the rivers changed course. \nAfter tackling Crowley’s Ridge\, riders will then experience the vast farmlands of the Delta (which supplies the nation with a bounty of food and feed to sustain our republic) during the final two thirds of the ride.  Riders will be treated to the wide-open flat farm roads of the region\, separated only by endless fields of crops\, to bring you home. Late May\, early June should see a tailwind blowing from the southwest to guide you home to the finish and a post-ride celebration in the historic downtown of Jonesboro\, Arkansas. \nThe name of the ride comes from a historical battle called “The Civil War Skirmish” which was fought in 1863. Jonesboro is located in the northeast part of Arkansas and has the perfect mix of a small town community atmosphere combined with a vibrant downtown\, world-class healthcare\, specialty manufacturing with world wide distribution as well as cutting edge technology companies and advanced-degree educational system. This offers athletes and their friends and family a perfect setting to come experience a true festival atmosphere over the three days of The Skirmish. \nOverall Event Schedule: \n\nThursday – Group rides\nFriday – Group rides\, vendor expo\, athlete meeting\, welcome party and free live music for everyone.\nSaturday –\n\nthe main event with four ride distances and a post-ride celebration.\nFriends and family will have plenty to do while their riders are out on course with kids and family activities at the finish line area. Saturday night will be a great time to explore what Jonesboro has to offer.\n\n\nSunday – a day to “relax” with a short ride on offer and then the final scheduled events of the festival. Participants and their traveling companions will be treated to a video and photo collage from the weekend. This visual wrap up will be immediately followed with an awards and prize giveaway ceremony to tie a bow on a great weekend of an all-things gravel experience.
