Overview

The Founder’s Ride: an exclusive four-day retreat offering 20 guests the opportunity to explore world-renowned mountain biking trails personally led by Jared Fisher, the founder of Escape Adventures.

The adventure is set entirely in Bentonville, AR—an emerging mountain biking destination that seamlessly blends urban elegance with small-town charm. Bentonville’s unique karst topography of limestone bluffs, coupled with the Walton Family Foundation’s ongoing investment (upwards of $74 million) into trail creation, has resulted in an enormous system of truly spectacular riding.

On the Founder’s Ride, you’ll be sampling the finest of this network, handpicked by Jared from his extensive experience riding these trails. Explore miles upon miles of pristine singletrack through diverse Ozark environments—from techy rock gardens to creek bottom hardwood forests. Not every trail on this tour is left to nature, though. Sprinkled throughout the itinerary are thrilling examples of world-class trail engineering: think expertly manicured berms and sophisticated, purpose-built riding structures.

Full days on the saddle will conclude with chef-prepared communal dinners and well-earned retreats to Escape Adventures’ private residences. We’ll gather around the fire to swap stories from the trail, relive the day’s highlights, and settle into the kind of easy camaraderie that only comes from a shared day well spent outdoors.

In the words of the founder:

“Every once in a while, I feel the need to take a step back and share a place that’s become meaningful to me. Bentonville is one of those places. This ride will be a small, invitation-style experience where I personally guide the rides, spend time with the group, and enjoy the kind of travel that originally inspired Escape Adventures—great trails, good conversations, and thoughtful details along the way. This tour is for the folks who appreciate something a little more personal. Whether you’ve traveled with us before or are joining us for the first time, I’d be honored to ride with you.”

DAY 1: Arrival and welcome dinner
DAYS 2 + 3: Full-day guided rides through Bentonville’s renowned singletrack trails, forested routes, and cultural highlights, with chef-prepared communal dinners
DAY 4: Sunrise ride and farewell brunch before afternoon departures

Thanks for being part of the journey. I hope you’ll join me in Bentonville.

Founder, Escape Adventures

Renting Bicycles

Not only do we run an international bike tour business, but we also own and operate a premiere bicycle store – www.LasVegasCyclery.com. We have learned over the years that every cyclist is different and prefers different types of bikes for different types of terrain. That is why we offer the best bicycles for rent in the business. If for some reason you are not happy with the quality of your rental, we will refund the cost of your entire bike rental. If you are bringing your bike with you, check with your airline’s baggage policy in advance and be sure to pack your bike accordingly. If you are shipping your bike to your destination, confirm the address with our office and allow enough time for your bike to arrive. We’re happy to help you ship your bike. Whatever you need to get the most out of your tour, we are here to make it happen.

Why travel with Escape Adventures?

Our Commitment to You

For over 25 years, the hallmark of an Escape Adventures tour is personalized, hands-on service. Before, during, and after each trip. We are a company of honesty and integrity and we stand behind our product 100%. From the moment you learn of our trips, to the time you return home and start planning your next trip, we are here to bring you the best possible experience. From our Guaranteed Trip Departure Confirmation Policy, making sure your trip is never cancelled*, to our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee Policy, backing the unrivaled consistent quality of all our tours, our commitment to you is never compromised. * Scheduled Domestic trips only.

Our Commitment to the Environment

Our environmental commitment is second to none. We run our tours the same way we run our company, with an eye on the triple bottom line: People, Profit & Planet. At Escape Adventures, we elected to pursue a more comprehensive approach to actually reduce our carbon footprint, rather than just offset it. We overhauled our entire operation — from our vehicles, to our buildings, to our procedures — to become an outdoor industry leader in the charge to help our people and our planet.

Exceptional Service and Exceptional Guides

Leading tours naturally followed from our passion of exploring our favorite places with our friends. Our support staff includes our reservation team who is there to answer your questions about the tours, our service team who prepares your bike and gear for the tour, and our guide team – the ones who take you into the great outdoors. The highest level of responsibility, good nature, integrity, and dedication are standard traits of all those who work at Escape Adventures. We are proud of it and we think you should know it.

The Best Support Vehicles

Having custom-made vehicles allows us to take you to places few other outfitters can, or will go. Every Escape Adventures tour is accompanied by at least one support vehicle, trailer, and in some cases a second and third transfer van. After purchase, we custom engineer our trucks, vans, and trailers by our on-staff mechanic to meet the unique needs of different tours. For example, certain trucks are specifically designed for The White Rim and The Maze, while others are designed for The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Each of our guides is required to be trained in safe vehicle operation, 4X4 driving, and basic maintenance. Our experienced guides make it look easy, transporting you and up to 12 guests, along with their bikes, fresh food, and plenty of drinking water to a remote location.

The Best Bicycles and Gear

Make your trip as comfortable as possible on the body, as simple as possible for traveling, and hassle-free on tour. By choosing to rent a bike from us, we will fit you with the newest, highest quality gear in the industry. Escape Adventures provides only high-end bicycles from Santa Cruz and Specialized.

The Best Food

Our food isn’t just good, it’s good for you.

Food is a big part of the Escape Adventures experience. Most dinners and breakfasts are served at local restaurants on our inn tours. We also have energy snacks aboard our support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you are out riding. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat! Many of our guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom we are more than happy to accommodate. If you have special diet requirements or limitations, just let us know when you sign-up and we’ll work with you to meet your needs.
