Area bicycle enthusiasts will have an opportunity to participate in the Arkansas Wine Tour 100s planned for Saturday, May 3, 2008 beginning and ending on the square in Altus, AR. Pick your own pace as you ride through a panoramic tour of the scenic Arkansas Wine Country along the Arkansas River Valley. Areas along the various routes include Altus, Ozark, Paris, Subiaco, Scranton, Hartman, and Coal Hill. This mostly-flat ride has three routes – 100 miles, 100k (63 miles), and 17 miles. Riders of the 17-mile ride will be treated to a champagne brunch sponsored by Post Familie Winery upon completion of the route. The Winery’s facility will remain open for riders to enjoy other refreshments until 2:00 p.m Registration will be held from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. at the gazebo on the southeast corner of the square in Altus. Entry fee on day of event is $35. Early entry fee is $30 by pre-registering online at www.archildrens.org using a credit card, or you can mail the registration form with your check payable to Arkansas Children’s Hospital to Mrs. Millie Clayton, 2 Pinecrest Drive, Russellville AR 72801-4507. If mailed, it must be received by May 1, 2008. The 100 mile ride will begin at 8:00 a.m. followed by the 100k and the 17-mile rides. Rest stops will be included along the routes (in Scranton, Paris, and Ozark) with drinks and snacks provided. Helmets are required and all equipment must be in working order. A “sag wagon” will be available during registration to help with last minute repairs, and another will follow the tour. The course will close at 2:00 p.m. and after that time riders will be on their own. The Arkansas Bike 100s Wine Tour coincides with the Altus Springtime Gala, an annual celebration of spring which also features a 5K run and fun walk, arts and crafts show, live entertainment, games, antique car and truck show, food booths, and more. The AR Wine Tour event is under the direction of the Arkansas River Valley Circle of Friends, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit chapter of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital. ALL proceeds will benefit Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Additional information is available by contacting the event chair, Millie Clayton via email at millie81748@hotmail.com.
