Ups and Downs of the 2024 Bentonville Bike Fest
The 2024 Bentonville Bike Fest was epic! Not only did Scott and Jim join me this year, but we survived tornados. And hung out with awesome people!

This late winter/early springtime has been giving us plenty of rain and clouds, but we were lucky to have a beautiful (yet windy) day to ride between rainy days.
For a few weeks we had some snow on the ground keeping us from riding on the rocks. With the snow gone, the rocks are open riding again!
We got some snow this week making our usual spots unrideable. So we went to Tony’s place to ride on sketchy wooden features in the parking lot.
I’m off to a pretty slow start with respect to trials riding in 2024. But I managed to make some videos.
This one location in the woods has so many trials line opportunities! Even old lines were made new with the addition of a fallen tree.
While most of the crew struggled to do anything today, Scott threw himself at everything. He demonstrated successes, near wins, and spectacular fails.
With these shorter days and artificially shortened afternoons, it’s challenging not only to leave work earlier, but even to get in a normal length ride.
Apparently this disc golf course is also great for bike trials riding – tons of rocks! This was my first time riding this location. I love trying new spots!
Veteran trials pro Mike Steidley and novice trials rider Jose joined me for this week’s group ride. It was great to finally meet Jose in person.
