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
