RIDE COLLECTIONS

Tuesday, July 15: Bike Ride - A Day in FAYETTEVILLE

I have divided our day into an out-and-back. Fayetteville has dozens of greenway trails. Unfortunately, we don't have time to do many. I have identified an optional route for the energetic cyclists. 54 miles, even flat, should be long enough for the rest of us.

9 AM:  Ride the Razorback Greenway 27 miles from Bentonville into Fayetteville

Recommendations Justin Boyd: Rode on Feb 1, 2025

Traits: Scenic, Great Terrain, Low Traffic
Activity: Gravel Ride, Road Ride (some photos on RideWithGPS)   
     It's challenging and hilly, with lots of great scenic areas in the valleys. Quite a few dog chases happened in the early stages of the MO portion, but that's not uncommon on gravel rides. I wish I had timed it better to visit Wishing Springs Brewery when it was open.
 

Friday, July 18: Drive 8 1/2 hours from LaQuinta in Bentonville to H'ville
