USA Cycling Rides Here

The USA Cycling National Mountain Bike Team trains in Bentonville, ride the same systems the pros use to sharpen their edge.

Haley Batten, USA Olympic Silver Medalist, sums up the impact of our tails the best:

“I think when you have a place where not only provides a full landscape of different terrain for you to explore, you know fun natural terrain, where you know the corners are naturally loose… It connects communities, it helps us appreciate outdoor landscapes and our world.”
