Today I rode from Conway to the Cadron Settlement Park by way of the ridge north of Conway. Below is a map created using the GPS information.
River Trail Road Cycling
August 27, 2009
The Little Rock/North Little Rock River Trail is a paved and mostly dedicated bike trail that goes from downtown NLR to the Big Dam Bridge over the Arkansas river and continues on almost to downtown LR. The River Trail is very popular with PEC students and a great place to ride. To reach the trail from PEC simply leave the main gate, head down Military Road, pass the Burns Park golf course, and you are there. You can park at the Soccer Fields to the right or at the boat dock to the left.

Camp Robinson Mountain Biking
August 26, 2009
Camp Robinson is home to the Central Arkansas Recreation Peddlers (CARP) trails, some of the best in the state. These trails are easily accessible by students visiting the Professional Education Center. Simply travel west down Missouri Avenue to the airfield, follow the road left, then turn right at the stop sign (or take Kansas west to Nebraska). The pavement will curve to the right, but a dirt road will continue on. Take the dirt road and park in the lot to your right.
More information, including some rather dated maps are available at www.carpclub.com
Burns Park Mountain Biking
August 26, 2009
As if the CARP trails aren't enough, Burns Park has some really good trails of its own. From PEC go out the main gate and continue on Military road up the hill and turn right onto Joe Poch. Follow Joe Poch over the Interstate and up the hill to the Boy Scout Trail parking lot.
