Pie Ride

Welcome to the Pie Ride, set to take place on Saturday, December 5, 2026, in the quaint and bike-friendly town of Keo, Arkansas. Nestled within Southern Lonoke County (SoLoCo), this small community is gearing up for a celebration that promises an unforgettable experience.
The event kicks off at 10:00 AM sharp from the Keo Airstrip on Pecan Road. This unique starting point is conveniently located just half a mile east of town, where Pecan Road intersects with Cemetery Road. Early risers can find packet pickup at Moody Brews in Pettaway Square, Little Rock, AR, between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM on Wednesday, December 2.
For those embarking early, the ride offers two routes for participants to choose from:
- The SoLoCo 35, available via https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52192133
- And the shorter SoLoCo 25, accessible at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52192236
Both routes will follow a clockwise direction this year. As you pedal through the picturesque landscape of Keo and its surrounding areas, prepare to be captivated by the natural beauty and charm that Southern Arkansas has to offer.
Upon your return, celebrate your efforts at the official finish line in downtown Keo during the heart of the Arkansas Pecan Festival. Secure your bike in a dedicated secure area before enjoying a well-deserved slice of pecan pie served up by local vendors. The festival atmosphere will be electric with its car show, live entertainment, and festive holiday cheer.
For those registering on race day, while you can still partake in the fun, pie may not be guaranteed post-ride. However, make sure to collect your drop bag at the finish line for any gear or clothing you left behind before heading back to Keo Airstrip to reclaim your vehicle and bid farewell to this delightful event.
The Pie Ride is more than just a race; it's an invitation to explore the essence of small-town Southern Arkansas. Join us for what promises to be a memorable day filled with cycling, community spirit, and delicious pecan pie!
