SUMMARY:World Championship Running of the Tubs
DESCRIPTION:For over a century\, visitors from all over the world have flocked to Hot Springs National Park\, Arkansas to bathe in our thermal waters. But what happens when you take a bathtub and put it on wheels? The Stueart Pennington World Championship Running of the Tubs\, that’s what happens! This chaotic celebration of Hot Springs’ spa history is a town favorite! \nTo celebrate Hot Springs’ classic motto “We Bathe the World” teams from all over get their best bathtubs all dolled up to bring to Hot Springs. But whose tub has the stuff? Four team members (the bath attendants) must push their bathtubs through the heart of the city\, the Historic Bathhouse Row\, while the team captain sits in the bathtub and steers. Throughout the course\, teams will face various obstacles along the way\, while dressed in elaborate costumes in hopes to become The World Champion Tub Runners – a sought out title\, obviously. \nThe bathtub must be full of water at the start of the race and have at least 10 gallons of water left in the tub at the finish line. If that isn’t hard enough\, each bath attendant must carry one of 4 items (bar of soap\, bath mat\, loofah mitt\, and bath towel) throughout the entire race and present all items at the end of the race. Here’s a fun twist\, the judges (sporting bathrobes and clipboards) are encouraged to make up new rules on the spot! Keeping everybody on their toes! \nBut don’t worry\, everybody gets to be a part of the fun. The crowd always comes prepared to spray competitors with water throughout the entire race\, in hopes to slow down\, distract\, or just annoy racers. \nParticipants can choose to compete in three different divisions: traditional (cast-iron tubs)\, modified (fiberglass/plastic tubs)\, or stock (reserved for nonprofits tubs are provided) Each tub and team must meet the qualifications to compete. \nIf that’s not convincing enough\, just wait until you see the annual Battle of the Badge: Hot Springs Police Department vs. Hot Springs Fire Department. Trust us\, they take this very seriously. You won’t want to miss witnessing and participating in this wild summer event… so don’t! \nFor more information call 501-321-2277 or email ahampo@hotsprings.org.

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

SUMMARY:Big Dam Bridge Training Ride Program 2025
DESCRIPTION:Registration for the 2025 Big Dam Bridge Training Program Is Open.  \nThe program is free to participants who have registered for the event by midnight on June 13th. After June 14th\, there is a fee of $45 for the training program (with or without registering for the BDB100 ride). \nThe Big Dam Bridge Training Ride Program was developed to encourage more cyclists from Arkansas to register for and ride in the annual Big Dam Bridge cycling event. This program is part of a larger goal of encouraging individuals to connect with other cyclists\, clubs\, and bike shops. We hope to foster a spirit of community and help relieve concerns related to riding in a group.  Additionally\, this effort includes several Big Dam Bridge sponsor activations as well as other local events when appropriate. \nThe training rides will begin on June 14th and continue every other Saturday through September 20th. Each ride will start at 7:30am from Lost Forty Brewing (501 Byrd St\, Little Rock\, AR 72202) and will return to the same location upon completion.  See map LINK for more details on parking. \nRiders will be divided into groups based on experience and ability. These groups will accommodate any level of cyclist; from the absolute beginner who just recently purchased a bike\, an enthusiast who wants to increase his or her mileage and average speed\, as well as a seasoned cyclist who is aiming for their best time for the 105-mile route. \nOn June 11th\, we will host a Q&A session at Lost Forty Brewing (501 Byrd St\, Little Rock\, AR 72202) from 6pm to 7pm that will provide program details including mileage and pacing for each of these groups. We will also introduce our Training Ride Team of Coaches and Leaders to the attendees. \nEach ride will feature a sponsoring Bike Club and/or Shop and will include a short training topic from one of our Coaches as well as an introduction to the sponsoring Club or Shop. Additionally\, Subaru of Little Rock will be providing a vehicle to serve as mobile nutrition\, repair\, and SAG support if needed. Post ride activities will begin at Lost 40 for those able to stay around after each ride. \nFor more detailed information\, please contact the Training Ride Program Director\, Scott Penrod – scott@allsportsproductionsinc.com \nKey Members\n\nScott Penrod – BDB Training Ride Director\nJosh Gordon – Training Ride Coordinator and Coach\nLindsay Petruk – Coach\nAdolfo Cordova – Coach\nIsabella Robles – Coach\n\nSchedule Overview\n\n11 June (6pm) – Kickoff presentation and Q&A at Lost Forty Brewing – 501 Byrd St\, Little Rock\, AR 72202.\n14 June – Ride #1 – Lost 40\n28 June – Ride #2 – Lost 40\n12 July – Ride #3 – Lost 40\n26 July – Ride #4 – Lost 40\n09 August – Ride #5 – Lost 40\n23 August – Ride #6 – Lost 40\n06 September – Ride #7 – Lost 40\n13 September – Young Life River Classic (Dress rehearsal)\n20 September – Ride #8 – Lost 40\n27 September – Big Dam Bridge Event\n\nRider Groups\n”C” Riders – This is an individual with less than 1 year of cycling experience\, just recently purchased a bike and/or rides 2 to 3 times a month. The ride leaders for this group will focus on the very basics of shifting\, braking\, pedaling technique\, and safe riding in a small group. It will prepare the participant to easily complete the 25-mile route of the BDB with a possible stretch to the 50-mile distance. \n“B” Riders – These riders have about 2-5 years of on-the-bike experience\,  regularly ride 2 to 3 times a week during the riding season (April-October)\, and supplement their fitness through other activities such as a gym membership or at-home trainer. The ride leaders for this group will focus on refining shifting and braking while introducing the basic concepts of pace line and cooperative group riding. \nThis group will be prepared to complete the 50-mile route faster than previous attempts and possibly stretch to the 75-mile route.  Nutrition strategy will also be discussed and refined throughout the 8 training rides. \n“A” Riders – These riders are already cycling enthusiasts who are looking to further improve their fitness and skills. They typically ride year-round 3-5 times a week and are likely members of a cycling club.  The focus for this group will include pacing\, fueling\, and refined cooperative group/pace-line riding.  Riders from this group will be able to complete the 75-mile route faster than previous attempts and can stretch-goal the 105-mile route with correct pacing. \nSupporters (Industry and retail)\n\nTrek Bicycles of Little Rock\nArkansas Cycling and Fitness\nSpokes Bicycle Shop\nThe Community Bicyclist Bike Shop\nShift Modern Cyclery\n\nSupporters (Club and advocacy)\n\nMello Velo\nRev Rock\nAll In Multisport (AIM)\nPinnacle Velo\nMajor Taylor Cycling Club
