It's our third year! The Double Barrel Gravel Ride just keeps getting bigger and better. Phat Tire Bike Shop and the Benton County Quails are rolling out the party in April this year! Join us on Saturday, April 20th, to ride some epic NWA gravel, shoot oodles of skeet, listen to live music from the Frisky Squirrels, and dig into our famous Jambalaya & Crawfish Boil.

71- and 31-mile course will not be marked. The 15-mile course will be marked. GPS course routes are indicated below. Aid stations are provided. Our big ask this year is that everyone stay for the pre-ride meeting and start out together.

Start & Finish is at the Benton County Quail Barn. The routes are chunky gravel roads. We highly recommend 35mm or wider tires. The 71-mile option has approximately 5K in climbing.

Don't forget to join us for the party. It all starts at 3:30 pm. There will be beer, jambalaya, crawfish boil, live music, an inflatable obstacle course, and a raffle with some awesome prizes. It's all for you - our Phat Tire Phamily because we love you guys. Proceeds benefit the Benton County Quails.
