Everyone is out enjoying the trails today. This is one of the few quiet sectors … and it is so beautiful.

Spring is definitely here. Flowers all over the trails.

The trails, and weather, are perfect. #GetOutAndRide #MTB

Cold. Grey. Windy. Mist giving way to rain, soaking our already soaked selves. It didn’t matter. It was critical we fit in miles, and the requisite conversations, in advance of a vicious cold snap that is forecast to grace our presence on Tuesday.

It was exactly what everyone sought. #GetOutAndRide

A cold Sunday morning means #Coffee & #Cyclocross … and then #singletrack!

Got out on what may be my favorite route today. Everything Bella Vista has to offer: B-roads, gravel, singletrack, winding climbs, barns, and more, were accounted for.

Mid-50s, sunshine, crystal clear blue skies and trails handling the very rapid thaw perfectly!

Grateful to be able to step out on my deck in the morning, with an amazing coffee, and see world-class MTB trails — trails that draw riders from around the world.

Yet, I’m lucky enough to enjoy them every day.

Just maybe this will inspire Wout to go to worlds. While no one is beating MvdP (without external circumstances), it would be great to see them both there.

It’s a shame we haven’t been able to see Joris Nieuwenhuis prior to the last few races. He’s clearly on good form and ready to battle for a podium at worlds.

It didn’t look like an MvdP attack after the Wout crash on the descent but he’s gone!

Today’s Rule of 3-inspired ride was a celebration of a perfect January day: crystal clear blue skies, 40+ degree, rainbow tunnels, armadillos, and a bald eagle.

Days like today showcase the magic of this place I get to call home.

Singletrack, trails really, always feel more personal. It demands attention, rewards your focus, and punishes even the slightest bit of inattentiveness. But in these miles of effort, I find rhythm, a dialogue with the trail, with nature, that’s equal parts humility and, for me, peace.

Fat bikes are a special. I love that everyone I see while riding mine smiles and wants me to stop so they can ask questions. Never ceases to amaze me, or bring me joy. #FatBikes aren’t new and people are still little kids when they see one. So much fun!

It’s a snowmen & waterfalls kind of Friday in NWA.

Snow & espresso … before bikes!

A beautiful winter morning is offering a serious juxtaposition to the storm heading our way this afternoon.

Icicles and perfect trail conditions. The Bella Vista kerstperiode is off to an amazing start.

The course changes in Hulst look to have significantly improved rideability. It’s a shame they can’t at the expense of riding through the windmill though.

Time well spent recharging mind, body, and soul.

It was cold and grey, but the previous day’s rain left absolutely perfect, hero dirt trail conditions for Little Sugar. Tunnel Vision, Bamboozled, Up Hill Both Ways were incredible.

I’m out of superlatives to describe the local trails. What a gift to be able to be this “lost” so quickly.

A great way to spend Black Friday: outside, singletrack, fat bike, friends.

You have to start somewhere, although this was just about half way on today’s Tunnel Vision loop. #MTB
