🚲 PSoAR Bicycle Day Ride & Chili Cookoff Fundraiser 🌶️
April 19 | 3:00–6:00 PM
Pedal It Forward
3902 NW Wishing Spring Rd, Bentonville, AR 72712
Admission - Free or Donation
Family-Friendly (kids welcome)
Join the Psychedelic Society of Arkansas (PSoAR) for a community celebration of Bicycle Day — an important date in psychedelic history commemorating April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann rode his bicycle home after intentionally experiencing the effects of LSD for the first time. That historic ride has become a symbol of curiosity, discovery, and community within psychedelic culture.
🚴 The Plan
We’ll gather at Pedal It Forward at 3:00 PM.
• Drop off your chili (see details below) and unload your bike
• Circle up for a brief welcome
• Head out for a relaxed (and decidedly sober) group ride on the Razorback Greenway Trail (this is a paved trail, easy for even the beginnerest of beginners)
• Return for our community Chili Cookoff + social time
This is a fundraising event, with proceeds supporting PSoAR’s educational programming and community outreach throughout Northwest Arkansas.
🌶️ Chili Cookoff Details
Bringing chili? Amazing.
Please:
Bring your chili warm in a crockpot (preferred)
Label your chili with:
- Your name

- Dietary notes (vegetarian, vegan, contains dairy, etc.)
Arrive by 3:00 PM so we can set up before the ride.

Whether you’re competing or just tasting, come hungry.
