The Tour De Burt is a gravel cycling event that will be held at the Burt Reynolds Gymnasium in Evening Shade, Arkansas. This event showcases the unique history of Burt Reynolds's involvement in the small community in which the 90's TV show was loosely based. In partnership with the Evening Shade Fall Festival, this ride takes you through some of our favorite gravel roads in Sharp County and finish with a small town festival atmosphere. The 3 route distances range from 15 to 63 miles and will be revealed closer to event day.
Riders will encounter chip seal and a diverse mix of sandy, rocky, smooth, and raunchy gravel and low-water bridges.
This no-frills ride offers a raw and authentic experience, showcasing the region's rugged beauty. Participants will be treated to stunning views and friendly communities along the way, adding to the overall charm of the event. Whether you're an avid gravel grinder seeking a challenging ride or a nature lover looking to immerse yourself in the scenic splendor of Arkansas, the Sandtown Shuffle promises an exhilarating and unforgettable journey.
The event will be held on Saturday, September 28.
