The only thing better than leisurely traversing thirty miles of the beautiful Razorback Greenway on a bicycle is making the journey with three party-worthy pit stops along the way! Northwest Arkansas communities along the trail will again play host to the Square 2 Square ride, a wildly popular biannual event that brings out thousands of riders of all ages and experience levels to Fayetteville each fall and spring.

With over 100 miles of sprawling trails inside our city limits and access to hundreds more miles of scenic roads - both paved and unpaved! - just outside, there might not be a better way to see Fayetteville and the surrounding Ozark Mountains than by bicycle! This fall, cyclists are invited to experience the Ozarks in pairs at the second annual Fayetteville Tandem Rally, a 3-day gathering of tandem bicycle enthusiasts taking place Friday, September 27 through Sunday, September 29. Designed for two (or more!) riders, tandem bicycles have created a passionate following of folks that enjoy gathering in popular cycling destinations around the country to ride and relax. The Fayetteville Tandem Rally will feature plenty of both! Daily road and (optional) gravel group rides are followed by evenings spent with newfound friends at one of Fayetteville’s many bicycle-friendly restaurants, coffee shops, and craft breweries. The low traffic density, high road quality, and mild topography of the Illinois River Valley that bring cyclists to Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas will be highlighted on the weekend's rides. While the riding and the rally officially start on Friday, event hosts Hank and Roxanne invite attendees to join them Thursday evening for early packet pickup and a few local brews at Crisis Brewing – a favorite stop on the Fayetteville Ale Trail! Event registration is live and includes a wine tasting on Friday, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and a full weekend of supported rides, rest stops, curated routes, and more! The event’s host hotels allow tandem bicycles to be stored in the rooms and include complimentary breakfast each day. We can’t wait to welcome each of you – two by two! – for the 2nd annual Fayetteville Tandem Rally! %MCEPASTEBIN%

Did you know that Fayetteville, Arkansas is the third most bicycle-friendly city in the entire United States? If housing an incredible 50 registered bike-friendly businesses in a town of fewer than 100,000 isn't blowing your mind, consider that you’ll find only 21 in Portland, Oregon, and 9 in San Francisco!

If Fayetteville, AR isn't the first place that comes to mind when you daydream about your next cycling vacation, it certainly should be!Just ask GCN.

Just east of Fayetteville, Arkansas lies Madison County: a largely untouched area of the Boston Mountain range of the Ozark Mountains. For cyclists, the region is a hidden treasure waiting to be explored, rich with opportunities for remote gravel road riding!

The spring edition of the biannual Square 2 Square Bike Ride is taking off up the Razorback Regional Greenway from Walker Park on Saturday, May 4th, 2024!
