Lodging
We’re staying in Airbnb houses within walking distance of downtown Bentonville and biking distance of the trails!
3 houses are booked with room for up to 24 people. Parking garages are within walking distance to accommodate any overflow vehicles - we recommend carpooling as much as possible!
Trails
We’ll have ride options to suit a variety of skill levels and preferences over the long weekend! Check out Trailforks to start getting a feel for the area!
Family Time
If you want to bring a partner/spouse/friend/children who are not mountain bikers, this is a great opportunity for them, too! There are plenty of hiking opportunities nearby, plus museums, shopping, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Bachman-Wilson house to explore!
Gathering Time
HAMR will provide the main dish for a cookout at one of the lodging locations Saturday night. BYOB and a side to share if you'd like! We'll go out as a group other nights. Breakfast and lunch is on you - pack something to have trailside in the afternoons and to cook for breakfast in the mornings! Make sure you also have plenty of water for the weekend!
