Connect With Our Arkansas Cycling Editorial Team

We're a small crew of riders who spend more time on gravel and pavement than behind a desk. If you've got a question about a route, a correction on a bike review, or just want to tell us we got something wrong about the climb out of Pinnacle Mountain, we want to hear it.

How to Reach Our Editorial Desk

The fastest way to land in our inbox is a direct email. Send general questions, story tips, and feedback to [email protected]. A real person reads every message.

Here's what tends to get a quick reply: a specific route you think we missed, a factual error in one of our pieces, or a question about training that we haven't covered yet.

We read everything. We can't always act on everything, but tips about local conditions — a washed-out section of the Arkansas River Trail, a new shop in North Little Rock, a group ride that changed its meeting time, those are gold. Locals know things we don't, and that's the whole point of running a community site.

Press and Media Inquiries

Working on a story about cycling in Arkansas? We're happy to talk.

Reporters, podcasters, and event organizers can reach our editorial contact at [email protected]. We can speak to local route trends, the growth of women's cycling across central Arkansas, and what we've seen change on the ground over the past several seasons of covering this scene.

A few things that help us respond well:

• Your deadline, stated up front — we'll tell you honestly if we can hit it.
• The outlet and the angle, so we can point you to the right person on the team.
• Whether you need a quote, background context, or someone on camera.

We don't do pay-for-coverage and we don't sell editorial placement. If that's the pitch, save yourself the email.

Partnerships and Gear Submissions

Brands and shops reach out often, and we read those notes carefully. Send partnership ideas and gear submissions to [email protected].

Before you hit send, a bit of context on how we work. We review gear because riders here actually use it — not because a product showed up in the mail. If you send something for review, we'll test it on real Arkansas terrain, and we'll write what we find. Sometimes that's glowing. Sometimes it isn't.

That independence is the only thing that makes our bike reviews worth reading.

Disclosure matters to us. When a relationship shapes our coverage, we say so in the piece. Readers should never have to guess.

Our Editorial Response Policy

Let's set honest expectations on timing.

General emails usually get a reply within two to three business days. Press inquiries with a clear deadline jump the line — we know how that game works. Partnership notes take a little longer because more than one of us weighs in before we answer.

Corrections are the exception. If you flag a factual error, we treat it as urgent. Wrong mileage on a route, a misnamed trailhead, an outdated event date — tell us, and we'll fix it fast and note the change.

One caveat worth stating plainly: route conditions in Arkansas shift with weather and season, and we can't verify every reader-submitted update in real time before publishing it. We do our best, and we lean on the community to keep us straight.

If you're new here, the About Us page explains who we are and why we cover central Arkansas the way we do. And if you're more interested in riding than writing, the local routes and training plans sections are probably what brought you in the first place.

Thanks for reading, and for caring enough to reach out. This site is better because riders talk to us.
