About riding in Arkansas
Arkansas pairs the steep, forested Ozark and Ouachita mountains with the flatter Mississippi Delta. Hilly routes with short punchy climbs are typical in the highlands. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons; summer brings heat and humidity.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 102 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 10h 12m |
| 12 mph | 8h 30m |
| 14 mph | 7h 17m |
| 16 mph | 6h 22m |
| 18 mph | 5h 40m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
