Gravel Rides
The vast majority of our group rides are Gravel rides to accommodate larger groups and encourage community.
The gravel experience is one of the many hidden secrets of this corner of Arkansas.
From our doorsteps, we can ride across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and beyond.
It is on those roads where our friendships go deeper, our attention is more focused, and our eyes are opened to the true beauty of the Northern plateau of the Ozark Mountains.
The miles are endless, but that does not stop us from trying to explore them all.
Mountain Bike Rides
We live in the heart of the Mountain Bike Capital of the World. Full Stop.
In the Land of Oz, Mountain Bikes have taken over and it is bliss. We are locals and aim to take full advantage of the beautiful trails that has been built here.
We are not pros. We do not aim to be. However, we are intentional in our pursuit of knowing every inch of trails here in our hometown.
The majority of group Mountain Bike rides are during the week in small groups that are a bit more self-organized. We can help you get in the loop of those.

Land Acknowledgement
Bentonville Ride Club acknowledges and pays respect to the Osage, Caddo, and Quapaw peoples and to their elders past, present, and future, offering deep gratitude for their ancestral stewardship of the land dating from time immemorial and upon which we now ride.
We also acknowledge the Cherokee people who were forcibly moved from their homeland and relocated to Oklahoma along the Trail of Tears which runs through many of the roads and trails we ride today.
It is within the responsibility of Bentonville Ride Club’s mission and our commitment to diversity and inclusion that we disseminate knowledge about Native peoples and our history with them. We encourage everyone to take the time to learn about this land, its people, and its story.
