Any Paceliners in Little Rock, AR?

Looks like I will be there for a short visit with both road and gravel bikes.

Anybody want to do a ride? Or have any suggestions for routes?

I created this route around Lake Maumelle that allegedly involves the Arkansas River Trail around the north side of the lake. Anyone ever done it? . . . https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39142366

The Arkansas River Trail also looks like it would be fun to explore closer to downtown.

Suggestions or referrals to rwgps routes appreciated!

Thanks . . . BBD

I no longer have contacts with faster riders in Little Rock. My wife and I only ride the South part of the River Trail from Two Rivers Park, over the bridge over the little Maumelle river to the traffic circle at Rebsamen park and back.
Hopefully when you come, the river flooding parts of the North side of the Arkansas River Trail will be down. There are several good MTB trails near here and a new pump track too.

Looks like I'll be there for two days and definitely planning to explore the Arkansas River Trail. The loop around Maumelle looked interesting, so I mapped it, but I'm not sure that trail around the north side of the lake is actually navigable on a gravel bike. Guess I'll find out if I don't elect one of the other trails on those websites you suggested.

We lived in Cammack Village until I was six when we moved. Haven't really been to the city except for driving straight through on the highway for at least 40 years.

Any tips on the best bike shop in town that isn't a Trek or Specialized company owned place?
