A Delta Gravel Festival in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
The Skirmish is more than just a cycling event, it's a celebration of the rugged beauty, rich culture, and tight-knit community of the Delta region. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to gravel cycling, this festival offers something for everyone. The festival was created to embrace all aspects of gravel cycling with one main feature not found in the majority of gravel events; the tale of 2 rides. Riders will first traverse the rolling hills of Crowley’s Ridge, similar to those found on the Ouachita and Ozark Mountain Regions. Crowley’s Ridge is a 200-mile long ridge that was formed by wind, water, and ice over millions of years. It's believed to have been an island between the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers that was isolated after the rivers changed course.
After tackling Crowley’s Ridge, riders will then experience the vast farmlands of the Delta (which supplies the nation with a bounty of food and feed to sustain our republic) during the final two thirds of the ride. Riders will be treated to the wide-open flat farm roads of the region, separated only by endless fields of crops, to bring you home. Late May, early June should see a tailwind blowing from the southwest to guide you home to the finish and a post-ride celebration in the historic downtown of Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Overall Event Schedule:
- Thursday - Evening Group ride
