Can you really ride your mountain bike when it’s raining in NWA? We’re here to say emphatically: YES! 🎉
Our team has yet again created a fantastic resource for our community to have routes that are rideable in all conditions, are fun, and don’t negatively impact the trails to incur more maintenance. Get out there and explore!

Our FAST volunteers had the distinct privilege to receive instruction from the indomitable Rich Drew and The Ride Series this weekend. FAST is thankful for the partnership with ARI Bentonville and The Ride Series and their desire to give back the volunteers that make our community amazing! Thank you for the bottom of our hearts for supporting our volunteers, and we know this won’t be the last one!
Trail work day incoming!
This Tuesday at 9 am, we’re partnering with a trail adopter out on the Back 40 to re-build some grade reversals and create some drains so the water stops washing away the trail. Bring gloves, a rake, or just yourself! We’ll also provide tools. You can find out more (exact location, times, sign up, etc) at the link in our bio under Trailblazers/Community Events.
See you there!

Bella Vista showed up in a big way today. 🚲💥
The Cooper Elementary Bike Train rolled through with energy, smiles, and a whole lot of pride. These kids didn’t just ride to school, they led the way, showing what it looks like when a community backs safe, active mornings.
Parents, volunteers, and neighbors, this is what momentum looks like. You made it feel easy, safe, and fun, and that matters more than you think.
To the riders, you’re not in the way… you’re on your way. And you’re changing what’s possible every time you show up like this.
Let’s keep it rolling.
Another amazing SongRider event at @campfire_ranch , our favorite base camp for adventure in Bella Vista. For this one, we partnered with @fastmtb , Friends of Arkansas Singletrack, and Campfire Ranch Little Sugar to host riders + songwriters, Eric Spahn and Colby Richardson. Take a peek at their experience as they met for the first time on this ride and will create a song together. Keep following along on the “Road to Rogers,” as we gear up for the SongRider showcase at the Railyard on May 12.
