The craziness of the times we’re living in has definitely taken its toll on us all. But in the interest of finding silver linings, I would like to point out that this craziness has sure driven people to spend more time outdoors. And (from 6 feet apart), that’s a very good thing. I imagine people are discovering or rediscovering how beautiful our state actually is. And while a lot of the normal outdoor amenities are closed for obvious reasons, there’s still plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy yourself. For years now, Arkansas Wild Magazine has focused on highlighting and detailing some of the state’s most interesting, activities, amenities and individuals. And twice a year, they put out an issue of the magazine specifically geared (no pun intended) towards cycling. If you’re looking for some good reading material or resources for your outdoor adventures, be sure to check out the latest issues of Arkansas Wild and Bike Arkansas Magazine. Typically, you can find current issues of the magazine at most grocery or outdoor specialty stores. If you’re avoiding the stores, you’re in luck because current as well as back issues of their publications are also online.

Happy reading and exploring.
