Time to dig out the spandex, guys. The Arvest Little Rock Gran Fondo is back.
After a successful inaugural event last year, the bike tour returns for another spin around the Rock. The Gran Fondo (which is Italian for “big ride,” by the way) offers approximately 70 miles of premium Arkansas courses and scenery, or 40 miles if you opt for the Medio.
Each leg of the race is about 25 miles, and the pit stops include full service, food, drinks and coffee. Some of those great eats will include the likes of Ben E. Keith, Capital Bar & Grill, The Pantry, Good Food by Ferneau, Zaza and Lost 40. Registered riders are also privy to awesome swag bags and access to the Gran Fondo Food Festival afterward in downtown Little Rock.
Take your time or rush to the finish line, relax or race; it’s your call. But stop messing around and register now. Spots are almost gone. Start time is 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 30. To register, click here.
