4 Distances, 1 Unforgettable Weekend
Get ready to pedal, laugh, and savor the joys of summer at the annual Backyard Bash! Join us at 8:00 AM (RIDES START AT 8:30 AM) at The Hub as we kick off gravel and MTB rides through the scenic wonders of Northwest Arkansas.
Embark on your choice of four fantastic rides—35 or 55 miles of gravel (both with an aid station in Pea Ridge) or 10 or 20 miles of MTB trails. Each course is designed to unveil the beauty of the Big Sugar Classic courses. Whether you’re an avid cyclist seeking a challenge or a casual rider out for a delightful journey, there’s a route for everyone to enjoy! Feel free to switch distances if needed.
But the excitement doesn’t end with the ride! As you conquer the gravel roads and single track trails and return to the finish line, we’re all about celebrating your accomplishments in true summer style. Stick around for the ultimate happy hour experience. The Hub’s food and beverage selections ensure you’ll have the perfect recovery on tap!
