Why You Can’t Miss This:

🚴‍♂️ The Ride:
Day 1 will be a leisurely-paced 40-mile ride to Terra Rose Campgrounds just outside Gravette, AR. Along the way, you’ll navigate a mix of paved and gravel roads, giving you a taste of what bike camping is really like. Whether you’re an experienced bikepacker or just getting started, the pace will be relaxed, averaging 10-11 mph, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and chat with fellow cyclists.

🏕️ Overnight Camping:
After your ride, settle in at the campgrounds, where Phat Tire will have your camping gear transported for you! No need to invest in expensive bike camping gear—just bring your essentials, and they’ll take care of the rest. Once you arrive, set up camp, enjoy some cold Ozark beer, and relax with new friends around the campfire.

🌄 Day 2:
On Sunday morning, after packing up, you’ll ride back to Bentonville with a 30-mile route back to the bike shop. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a beginner, this laid-back weekend is designed to be fun and educational.

🍺 Post-Ride Refreshments:
What’s better than a cold, refreshing Ozark beer after a gravel journey? Phat Tire Bike Shop will have drinks ready for you to enjoy at the end of the ride.
