ROGERS CYCLING FESTIVAL Continues to Grow
T
he 2017 Rogers Cycling Festival, sponsored by the Northwest Arkansas Emerging Leaders, was held on July 28-30. The festival consisted of several USA Cycling-sanctioned road cycling and mountain biking events held in Downtown Rogers. Bikers trained all year long to participate in the festival. "This is their sport. They take it very seriously and train very hard to do these events," Rogers Cycling Festival Committee member Matt Crafton said. Proceeds from the festival benefited many nonprofit cycling organizations in Northwest Arkansas. The festival’s beneficiaries include Rogers Community Bike Program, Pedal It Forward NWA, Ozark Off Road Cyclists, the Boston Mountain Cyclists clubs, and Rogers Area Trail Supporters (R.A.T.S.).
