Kessler Mountain

Fayetteville's rock garden — old-school technical Ozark riding: ledges, boulders, and grunty climbs. The counterpoint to Bentonville flow, and the locals' proving ground.

Ride — Likely Dry

The ride around the ride — pre-ride coffee, post-ride food, and the local bike economy. Auto-fed as the directory grows.
