First Friday Rides

Description

First Friday Rides is a free community cycling event hosted by the Bentonville Area Chamber in partnership with OZ Cycling Tours and Arkansas Moves. Held before Downtown Bentonville's First Friday festivities, the event is designed to bring together cyclists, businesses, and community members through recreation, networking, and connection.

Riders meet at F1RSTNB of NWA (402 SW A St #101, Bentonville) and can choose from two guided ride options:

• Adventure Ride | 4:00 PM
  • Led by OZ Cycling Tours, this guided ride covers approximately 9–10 miles on Bentonville's paved Greenway trail system and is ideal for riders looking for a longer, recreational ride.
• Community Cruise | 4:40 PM
  • Led by Arkansas Moves, this relaxed 1-mile ride is perfect for riders of all ages and experience levels who want to enjoy a casual ride through Downtown Bentonville.
• Following both rides, participants gather at F1RSTNB of NWA (402 SW A St #101, Bentonville) beginning around 5:00 PM for FREE drinks, food, and conversation before heading out to enjoy the First Friday festivities.

Whether you're an avid cyclist or just looking for a fun way to meet new people, First Friday Rides offers a welcoming opportunity to experience Bentonville's cycling culture while building connections within the community.
