  • Are YOU ready to get better on your bike? Come on, we both know the answer is yes and The Ride Series is the way for you to make it happen. Check out the website for our Clinic Schedule or to book private coaching: therideseriesm...
    The ‪@OzTrailsNWA‬ are rad! I think everyone knows that by know. However, there aren't a ton of spots that are just nasty technical. Well, Zone 4 is just that and, in addition, it lasts well over a mile so it's a test of your technical ability AND your cardio. I've been venturing out there lately on my ‪@aribikes‬ Signal Peak to start collecting data for an attempt to get through it clean. I feel like I'm getting close...at least I think I am.
    This spot is part of the Hand Cut Hollow system. You can find it on Trail Forks and it's an easy pedal or drive from down town ‪@VisitBentonville‬.
    Have you ridden this zone yet? What did you think? Let us know in the comments

    That trail is a beast! Was bummed to see the logs gone last time but Gary said they should be back eventually!

      haha, you would love those damn logs!! That was the hardest part for me by far. I'm down to get my "Trials" learn on and go for it!

    Give the camera person props! Zone 4 isn't easy to hike, much less doing it while holding a camera. My buddy and I "rode" it back in September (2023) and I am sure we walked more than we rode. Looking forward to doing better next time.

    You sir, deserve a taco after this ride 😂. Seriously all thise Zones are no joke. I rode at Handcut Hollow but didn’t see these trails. I’m looking forward visiting soon. Thanks Rich for sharing and looking like a boss on those features 🔥

      Or a cookie 😉. The entrance to this Zone is right after you cross over the gravel road. There’s multiple ways to get in there though. HandCut is my favorite spot right now!

    Hey Rich, I missed your Ride Series in Georgetown, TX. I had just got back from Spring Break in Switzerland and Austria. I got Type B influenza and was sick. I'll keep an eye out for when you come back here so I can try and become a better rider.

      Start slow, keep your eyes up, you’ll get there. Once you get 3 or 4 runs on it, you’ll get more comfortable with all the “tough” spots and where they’re located. Also gets more fun the more you do it 😉

    I exited at the first bailout. Getting covered in - and consequently removing- a million of those little black thistle things while getting video of everyone on the wood feature didn't help. 😆#notafan
