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.
