    It’s pretty rare to have such a well marked, well maintained trail system out in the middle of nowhere. The Upper Buffalo Headwaters in Northwest Arkansas is not hand manicured like the trails in Downtown Bentonville, and that’s a good thing for some backcountry escape.

    YOU FOUND IT! haha Wow, I honestly wasn't sure I'd ever get to see that darn rock again, but there it still is... it's amazing how much more it fun it looks when not covered in leaves!

      I was wondering the same thing, I believe it looks that way because she so thin. She can ride well though big pack and all. 😊

    As always, you make my adopted home state look great!!! We are always glad when you come to our little slice of heaven. And you should definitely check out North Woods sometime. The Hot Springs area is beautiful. And if you go during the spring, time it so you can go to the Arkansas Derby where Kentucky Derby horses run.

    Brian talking about a race, me thinking “ You two need to do the BC Bike race!”🎉

    • @mrvwbug4423
      @mrvwbug4423 Před rokem +1

      Brian has done the BC bike race before. I think that was the last XC race he ever did back in like 2019. Not sure how long Sarah has been retired from competitive XC racing (she's podiumed at Breck Epic before).

    IMBA epics are usually either doing trails in the un-fun direction or VERY out of date due to new trail construction. I know the IMBA epic at Curt Gowdy state park up in Wyoming is what a lot of outsiders end up riding, but that ride is underwhelming due to tons of new and much better trails that have been built since.

    I did the imba 20 mile a few months ago. Overall, the route wasn't great. Had a trail that was almost completely unrideable due to dozens of fallen trees. Wildcat was fun going down though.

    Sarah needs a trailer attached to her bike to carry all that stuff that she is somehow jamming into that hip pack. That's one big ass bag on a tiny woman!

  • @ToddNZMTB
    @ToddNZMTB Před rokem +1

    That shifter hangs really low, maybe it's just the camera angle but it looks like it'd hit your knee.

    • @mrvwbug4423
      @mrvwbug4423 Před rokem +2

      That's a common complaint about the Transmission shifter, apparently you can run the regular AXS shifters if you want something more tucked up.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  Před rokem +2

      Haven't hit it yet, but it does seem prone for snappage!

  • @puckcoach3

    Looks a lot like Back 40. I’m going to guess it’s not worth a two hour drive - just ride Back 40 🤔 …

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  Před rokem +1

      I found it much more memorable and fun! I can't remember a single thing from riding the Back 40, except the snake in the tree we saw!
