Join George for an epic weekend of riding in the "cycling Mecca" of the country! Bentonville, Arkansas is a must-visit cycling destination that not only has top-tier roads, gravel, and trails to ride, but also a vibrant and fun city to explore, dine, and unwind in after a long day on the bike. Whether you choose our Saturday or Sunday road course (we personally recommend doing both), you'll be sure to enjoy every mile you ride on our scenic and adventurous courses. The best part will be waiting for you at the finish line in Downtown Bentonville where friends, family, and thousands of other cyclists will be waiting to cheer you on as you accomplish your riding goal.
