This is a classic west-side route that is best ridden counter-clockwise, but can be reversed if there’s a stiff wind out of the south.
After passing the Duggar compound on Arbor Acres Road, you’ll head toward UA Beef Farm Road and descend into Savoy.
The next portion of the route includes the eastern half of the NWA Spring Classic road race course, which means you’ll get the full experience of the short, but steep Weaver Hill climb, followed by the doglegs of Viney Grove Road that lead to the Spring Classic finish line in front of Prairie Grove Elementary School.
From there, you’ll head south out of Prairie Grove and up to Hogeye before traveling east to what’s know locally as The Wall, which for many years was part of the Joe Martin Stage Race amateur category laps. After a super-fast descent into West Fork, you’ll finish the ride headed north back through Greenland and into Fayetteville on Highway 71.
