Does anyone know of a training group in the Little Rock area? I know of some cycling clubs and running clubs but nothing mainly about tri's

Surely there are more tri folks from central AR.  I see a ton of folks on the trails chillin' on the aero bars...they can't all be practicing for TTs. 

 Central AR...holler.

Yeah... not a lot of people from NWA either. Are you doing the CATS Sprint in September this year?

Definately doing the CATS in Sept.  A little worried about the hills though.  I'm doing Mr. Trophy on Jonesboro May 3rd for my first one.  It's far enough away from home, hopefully I won't know anyone.  I'm doing the one in NLR at Burns Park June 1st.  Then the CATS in Sept. and one in Heber Springs in October.  If all goes well, I hope to do a couple of olys next year.

There are training rides that start in NLR at the Bike Rental place just down from the submarine.  They are at 2pm on Sundays for now.  The folks are training for CARTI's Tour de Rock...a 50 miler in the summer.  Groupls vary from a 25 mph pace to 15mph.

Conway Arkansas
Subject: RE: Central Arkansas
A group of people ride from "The Ride" in Conway on Monday and Wednesday. Its a pretty slow ride. I don't know of any Tri groups. The CATS tri is fun, the hills are not too bad and the swim is pretty short.

Heber Springs
Subject: RE: Central Arkansas
I live in Heber Springs. Should check local bike shops.  Yea "The Ride" does rides throughout the week in Conway area.  And I am sure the bikes shops in Little Rock has bike rides all the time.  I am doing my first Tri this october the one in Heber.  So, hopefully that goes ok.  Just decide last month to do it.  Not really enough time to train.  But just looking to have fun.  Normally like doing Ultras. Trail running races. But decided to try something else.  So, my biking and swimming I need to work at.

I just got an e-mail about the Tri-the Lake tri there in October. Have you ridden that course? From the elevation profile, it looks relatively nice except for one really significant climb.

No, I have not rode the course yet but will soon.  There is one climbing part.  Other then that should be easy. There is a long ride across the big dike about a mile long.  Nice views.  Then you go up the one big hill or big to me.  Run course is not bad.  Run around that area many many times.  Just one hill that is kind of long.

I can not ride tomorrow but if you do let me know what you think of the course.  Should not be bad.  Just that one part but you get to go back down the hill and nice views.

The hill at the Herber Springs Tri....... I made it up. First 1/4 of climb is tough after that it is just granny gear and continue climbing. For the ones of you doing the tri the climb is steep but impossible.

Yea I need to go do it.  Was afraid the first part was going to be tough. That part is going to kill me since I am a bike noob.
