We're riding to Emporia, Kansas! To celebrate Rebecca's induction into the inaugural class of the Gravel Hall of Fame, she is riding from Kansas City to Emporia on dirt roads and paths with other gravel legends and friends. The vision of this ride is to celebrate the history and impact of gravel with fellow riders who have a shared love and passion for two wheels on dirt and to amplify the mission and message of the Be Good™ Foundation. We'll be raising funds for the Be Good Scholarship fund to fulfill the RPI inclusion mission and bring more riders to Idaho this September.

CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF THE ARKANSAS HIGH COUNTRY
About the Arkansas High Country Ride: The all-new “mixed-surface” Arkansas High Country Route showcases the geological diversity, splendid natural areas, and welcoming communities of west-central Arkansas, while linking regional bike trails and other routes.
Highlights include unique geologic formations of Ozark and Ouachita national forests, the Buffalo National River, and the well-signed and smooth Razorback Greenway connecting the urban areas of Fayetteville and Bentonville.
Approximately 48% of the route is paved (8% of which is bike path), 47% is unpaved (dirt or gravel), and 5% is singletrack.
