CONWAY, Ark. — Conway Regional Health System Biketoberfest has announced its 2023 slate of events and rides scheduled for later this fall.
The month-long celebration promotes Conway’s cycling amenities and routes with rides in four different formats: road, mountain, gravel, and community. The events include rides at parks, trails, pump tracks, and other family-friendly rides.
“Conway Regional has been caring for our community for more than 100 years,” said Conway Regional Health System President and CEO Matt Troup. “That’s why we are thrilled to partner with the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce to advocate for Conway’s burgeoning cycling community through Conway Regional Health System Biketoberfest for the past three years.”
Conway is one of only eight Arkansas communities designated as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Cyclists, and boasts miles of paved, shared-use paths, shared-lane markings, and bike lanes.
