SUMMARY:The River Classic
DESCRIPTION:RIVER CLASSIC SEPT. 12\, 2026\nIn 2015\, a small group of cyclists who wanted to support Young Life’s work in South Little Rock decided to organize a cycling fundraiser and what is now the Young Life River Classic was born. In the eleven years since\, the event has grown from fewer than 50 riders to more than 300 in 2025. \nThroughout\, we’ve remained focused on two things: \n\nProducing a USA Cycling sanctioned\, well-supported event for cyclists of all levels\, and\nSupporting Young Life’s mission to serve teenagers from underserved communities south of Interstate 630.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBig Dam Bridge Training Program\nThe River Classic is again part of the Big Dam Bridge 100 official training program. Through a partnership with the Big Dam Bridge Foundation and Arvest Bank\, participants in the Big Dam Bridge training program will ride the River Classic as a “Dress Rehearsal” for the BDB100 that is two weeks after our event. Find out more about the training program at www.thebigdambridge100.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the River Classic?\n\nA USA Cycling-sanctioned\, fully supported ride with great fun\, food and fellowship\nThis is a fully supported ride\, with on-site mechanics and SAG\, well-stocked rest stops and route markers from RouteArrows to make navigation easier.\nA ride with three distance options for every level of cyclists:\n\n\n\n\n23.5 miles for beginners or those that just want to cruise\n40.6 miles for those looking for a weekend challenge\n63.6-mile route for experienced cyclists\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration for the 2026 ride is now open! \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nLunch will be provided after the ride by Corky’s! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\nPacket Pick-up will have two options: 1) Friday\, September 11 at Spokes bike shop in the Pleasant Ridge shopping center on Cantrell from 12-1:30 PM and 4:30-6:00 PM\, or 2) Saturday\, September 12 at the event venue at Ace Glass from 6:30-7:45 AM. \nThe 2026 River Classic will depart from the Ace Glass Corporate Headquarters (3101 Dugan Street\, near the LR Airport) Saturday morning at 8am. \nWe will provide post-ride food and drinks\, and all participants will receive a free photo from RBS Pics Photography! \nAll courses are well-marked by RouteArrows and we have several aid stations along the route where Young Life leaders and students will be ready to provide assistance. \nAll participants will receive an event t-shirt. \nWe hope to see you on Saturday\, September 12! \n  \nWhat Past Riders Say About the River Classic\n“Ride was great.
