On Saturday (5/2) Dierks Bentley and Luke Bryan competed in the Natchez Trace Century Ride cycling competition in the Jackson, Mississippi, which saw more than 1,000 cyclists.

During the race, Bryan and Bentley rode alongside professional cyclists such as Robbie Ventura and Christian Vande Velde.

Dierks posted to Twitter, "Not sure what was harder... doing 100 miles in 4 hours and 30 minutes or going out in public without my shorts on ha. Spent most of the time behind @LukeBryanOnline wondering where his were too."
