Bentonville Gears Up For The Women of OZ RISE Forum

Bikes, bevvies, and a whole lot of community heart are about to take over Bentonville. Women of OZ is throwing its annual RISE Forum, and this one is open to riders and non-riders alike. Music keeps things moving well past the ride, and the whole community is invited to be part of it.

The Deets

Pick Your Path On Two Wheels (Or Zero)

The rides are reserved for the ladies, and you get to decide how you want to spend your afternoon on the trail. Grab a mountain bike for the MTB ride, keep it steady on the Gravel Ride, slow things down with an Art Ride, or skip the wheels entirely and stretch it out with Yoga. Once the riding wraps, everyone rolls into the same celebration, so bring your family and any friends who’ve never touched a bike in their life.

Riding With A Reason

This year, RISE Forum partners with the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks as the organization grows its presence in Northwest Arkansas. When you show up, you help more people learn about the support BCFO offers individuals and families affected by breast cancer, right here in your community. You’ll also walk away with a confidential mammogram voucher through BCFO.

A Year Of Getting More Women On Bikes

RISE is one stop on a much longer ride for Women of OZ, which spends the year hosting free rides, skills clinics, education, and mentorship for women across the region. The group believes cost should never be the reason someone doesn’t get to find her people or discover what she’s capable of on a bike. WOZ PERKS members get priority access and exclusive perks around the community, and you don’t have to attend the forum to sign up and start claiming them.

RISE Forum is Women of OZ’s annual fundraiser, and your ticket gets you a plate of good food while you’re there.
