Big Dam Bridge

[Dogtown Rider]

I felt the need to clear up some of the Big Dam Bridge ride information offered above. First, the approaches to both ends of the bridge are 5% grades for a distance of 1500 feet. Second, the hill on Cantrell that is included in the BDB ride is a 5% grade for .14 miles, rising a whopping 37 feet from 263' to 300'. Third, the Little Rock bike route does indeed feed onto Cantrell, but it doesn't "throw.. you out into the middle of Cantrell Road/LaHarpe Boulevard, and on the wrong side of the traffic lane". Signs direct you to follow the sidewalk for a short distance until you can cross under the road(the BDB goes the opposite direction, #3 doesn't relate to this ride).
Come on up and enjoy the ride if you have already registered. Registration is now closed due to the great response. Be sure to visit the Fast Girls/ Slow Guys rest area at mile 65. You'll meet some great folks and I promise that you won't be terrorized.
