Cardiac Classic

Arkansas Heart Hospital's Cardiac Classic bike ride stretches out to the Roland and Wye communities by way of the Big Dam Bridge and Two Rivers Bridge and Park, past Pinnacle Mountain. There are three routes the riders can choose to ride - 20 miles, 50 miles or the 100K (63 miles). Riders find a great balance of “flats,” “climbs,” and “curves” to challenge their cycling skills. 

Riders return to a “heart-healthy” meal prepared by Executive Chef Coby Smith.

We have received great support from the local cycling clubs with Mello Velo, Revrock, Carve and Heels on Wheels who have been part of the fun in “hosting” our route stops (we have three along the ride routes) that offer rest, refreshment, encouragement and entertainment to the riders out on the course.

A Cardiac Classic T-Shirt is included in registration.

The Cardiac Classic is presented by Arkansas Heart Hospital. The goals of the ride are to increase the awareness of cardiovascular disease and spotlight the value of physical activity to impact overall cardiovascular health.

The Classic bike ride began with 157 riders at its inaugural ride in April of 2012. Since that time, it has enjoyed terrific growth in riders and reputation as one of the finest rides in Central Arkansas.

We continue to receive wonderful feedback from those who choose to ride with us each year as to the routes offered, the truly heart-healthy lunch served upon their return (they even ask for some of our recipes), the overall organization of the ride, the super jerseys and our favorite comment “this is our favorite ride of the season”.

Early Bord $45 before March 15. $65 after April 16.
