The Skirmish
2025-05-29 - 2025-06-01 | Downtown Jonesboro, 320 S Main St, Jonesboro, 72401, United States
A Delta Gravel Festival in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
The 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.
After 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.
The 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.
Overall Event Schedule:

Thursday – Group rides
Friday – Group rides, vendor expo, athlete meeting, welcome party and free live music for everyone.
Saturday –

the main event with four ride distances and a post-ride celebration.
Friends 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.

Sunday – 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.

Ride of Silence - Little Rock
2025-05-21 17:30 - 19:00 | Bernice Gardens, 1401 S Main St, Little Rock, 72202, United States
​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. ​
Established 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.
Participants 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. ​

Take note of 2 NEW items for 2024
1. Time cutoff.

Rule of Three is not your average 110 mile bike ride. Think road race, meets gravel, meets MTB, meets adventure race all rolled into one! Our course takes significantly longer to complete than an average 110 mile gravel event. 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!
For 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.
We 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.

2. 200+ Mile Category:

Begin Friday, May 16th and circumnavigate Beaver Lake, hitting 4 different trail systems. 30 hr time cutoff.
Completely 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.
You’ll need to either own a SPOT or Garmin Inreach GPS device or rent one from Follow My Challenge.
You’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.
You will receive an email with the link to register with Follow My Challenge after your Rule of Three registration.
Solo or team of three.

Teams
110 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.
200+ mile 3 person teams will ride the route together and must finish together. One SPOT tracker needed per team.
Inclement Weather Policy
Rule 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!
Routes
The 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.

Monday Night Paddle & Dinner
2025-05-12 17:30 - 20:30 | William Kirsch Preserve within Ranch North Woods, 8803 Ranch Drive, Little Rock, 72223, United States
We will do a flat water paddle on Monday night, 5/12/25. We’ll be meeting at The Ranch North Woods. Our plan, as of now, is to paddle to the floating camping platform and back. This is a casual event open to any ACC members. Don Rottman will be cooking chicken fried rice on an outdoor wok on site. You need to BYOB. Depending on where exactly we can put in and the time, as well as how many participants, dinner will be on the platform or the take-out area.

Respond the Facebook Event Page to let us know you’re going to join us and so we can have enough food.
The plan is to open the gate at 5:30, get to where we’re starting, and launch at 6 p.m.

For reference is the same area of the New Year’s float where we stop to eat lunch and where we take out.
This is a minimal skill, any type of paddle craft type thing.
