Will be staying in Hot Springs for Thanksgiving week. Have a 1x9 29er rental lined up from Park Cycles. Will also have my cx / gravel / road bike.

Have done in the past:
- Cedar Glades
- the Western half of Vista
- Womble from 27 to 270 and back
- Parts of Syllamo (with a heaping helping of fail)
- lots of various gravel and road noodling around in the woods

Considering:
- Rest of Vista
- More Womble
- More road / gravel rambling
- Athens Big Fork / Shady / Viles loop(s) of some kind but I'm unclear on the options.

Advice?

thx

Slaughterpen has some of the best mountain biking in Arkansas, and you could also visit the new Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville.

thanks, I've heard good things... just not sure I want to drive HS to Bentonville for it, when there's so much nearby
