Weekend Warm Up

March 20th Ride Type: To Be Announced!

Weekend Warm Up is a weekly ride hosted by OZ Cycling Tours, designed to bring together Chamber members and community partners. The event offers a chance to enjoy mountain biking, gravel rides, and greenway paths in a relaxed, no-drop environment. 
 

Rides occur every Friday at 4:00 PM, with different types of rides each week. Participants meet at Phat Tire (125 W Central Ave.) in Bentonville, and the rides are open to a variety of skill levels. It’s a great way to kick off the weekend, connect with others, and get outside while staying active.

On the first Friday of every month, the ride will be a beginner/intermediate-friendly mountain bike ride near the Bentonville Square, giving riders the opportunity to get in a few fun laps before heading into the First Friday celebration downtown.
