Remember that time a tropical depression parked right on top of Northwest Arkansas? Yeah, that just happened. The good news is that it looks like the rain is going to clear just in time for the weekend. Be sure to check out Stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse, Specialized’s new Aero road bike prototype that has been spotted in the wild, and some crazy fun events coming up as well as our comprehensive list of group rides in Northwest Arkansas, all after the break!
