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.

SUMMARY:Major Taylor 111 at the Port
DESCRIPTION:“Major Taylor 111 at the Port” is a cycling event created through a partnership of the Major Taylor Cycling Club of Little Rock (MTCCLR) and the local non-profit Recycle Bikes for Kids (RB4K). \nMT111 will become one of the most sought-after cycling events in the country. Supported by the Little Rock Port Authority\, local cyclists and bike enthusiasts from around the country will want to attend for the unique aspects of this ride with a Major Taylor flavor. \nOn June 7th\, starting at the Little Rock Port Authority headquarters\, participants will ride through the Port\, visit Wrightsville\, Redfield\, and continue to Pine Bluff. Riders then proceed to the Arkansas River crossing on Highway 79 and visit England\, Keo\, and Scott before returning to the Port.  The route is one hundred and eleven miles long with shorter options of 62 miles\, 50 miles\, and 25 miles.  There will also be a one-mile sprint segment honoring the race that made Marshall “Major” Taylor a world champion. Sprint through the one-mile Strava segment setup within the MT111 and compare your time to Major Taylor’s winning time at the 1899 World Track Championships of 1 minute\, 41 seconds. \nThis ride will benefit underserved communities. The Major Taylor Cycling Club members will visit schools\, educate students about bicycles\, distribute free bicycles from RB4K\, and hand out books about U.S. pro rider Marshall “Major” Taylor. This not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also provides a means to exercise for the youth in the state of Arkansas. \nIn addition\, this ride will allow RB4K and MTCCLR to purchase and install bicycle repair stations at the schools\, which helps the community where the bike stations are placed\, and helps the cycling community as a whole. The first location scheduled to receive a repair stand is the Brooks Library in Wrightsville\, Arkansas. \nPartnering with the businesses located in the Port of Little Rock\, the MT111 will establish a sense of community with the Port\, with cyclists and the people that visit Little Rock for this event. \nMTCCLR Mission Statement: The Major Taylor Cycling Club of Little Rock shall promote cycling as Recreation and Transportation\, promote Physical Fitness\, foster Community and Camaraderie\, commit to Inclusivity and Support\, engage in Charitable Initiatives and offer Educational Outreach. \nRB4K Mission Statement: Recycle Bikes for Kids gives free bikes to kids\, provides adults the opportunity to earn a bike\, and supports bike infrastructure and education in our community. \n  \nOne Eleven Map:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49421842 \n  \nMetric Century Route:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49835791 \n  \n52 Mile Route:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49835724 \n  \n24 Mile Route:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49835667
