Are the Waltons of Walmart and their town of Bentonville, Arkansas, coming for Colorado's claim to mountain biking? This is a symbolic move, USA Cycling says, and Coloradans should not see it as a snub. USACycling
, have invested an estimated tens of millions of dollars to design, build and maintain hundreds of mountain-biking trails in Northwest Arkansas.
On the same podcast, Vernon estimates that the team he oversees has built an average of two miles of trail per week, including those that connect communities, traverse the University of Arkansas campus, and even spider away from trailheads that begin in downtown Bentonville. As of 2022, more than 600 miles of trails had been built in the area.
USA Cycling's Quirk confirms that the decision to name Bentonville the new home of the national mountain-bike team came from discussions starting back in April 2022 between USA Cycling, the City of Bentonville, and the Waltons' Runway Group. USA Cycling has declined to make the detailed terms of the agreement public, including any incentives, grants or other commitments that helped lure it away from Colorado.
