A Ride Built
To Show You
Arkansas

The Graveler was never meant to stay in one place. Each edition takes riders into a different region of the state, and the towns along the way are the reason the route goes where it goes.

The Graveler exists to show riders the state. Ozarks, Ouachitas, and now the Delta — riders who came back in 2026 are riding somewhere they have never been.

Aid stations and SAG on the course, your bag moved for you, camp and dinner every night, and mechanics in the evening. You ride and eat and sleep. Everything else is handled.

Six host communities said yes because they wanted to be part of it. Money staying in a small downtown is not a side effect of the route — it is a reason for it.

Two Years,
On the Roads
Themselves.

Routing the Delta is harder than routing the mountains. There is less existing infrastructure for something like this and fewer obvious answers, so most of the work happened in conversation: with county road crews about which roads hold up, with landowners about access, and with towns about when, where, and how they wanted the Graveler to show up for a night.

What we were after: roads that hold their surface, a beautiful part of the state worth highlighting, towns that want riders coming through, and places worth stopping in between.

It Goes
Both Ways.

Local businesses have reported record sales on the days riders come through, in both prior editions. A few hundred people looking for a cold drink, a sandwich, and somewhere to sit is a real day for a small downtown.

What comes back is not part of any agreement. In 2024 a bakery in Cave City made riders a special batch of fried pies. An ice cream shop cooled people down on a brutal afternoon. A volunteer fire department set up a mist spray on the hardest climb of the week. Nobody asked for any of it.
