The streets of Northwest Arkansas pulsed with the restless energy of cycling enthusiasts this past weekend, as the Rideomba Dam Zombies race took off on the scenic trails of Lake Arcadia. If you were anywhere near the Razorback Regional Greenway in Bentonville, AR, you'd have felt the electrifying vibe in the air – it was a sight to behold and an event to be remembered!

The Dam Zombies race isn't your average pedal-pushing affair. Riders are known to bring their A-game, as they gear up for an adrenaline-infused challenge, choosing between a 3 or, hold onto your handlebars, a whopping 6-HOUR race. Yes, you read that right – 6 hours of pure, unadulterated mountain biking bliss, pitting endurance, strategy, and grit against some of the best terrains the Lake Arcadia trails have to offer.

As the racers zipped and zoomed over bumps, grinds, and the natural majesty of the trails, it was a symphony of sweat, determination, and the sheer joy of the ride. Party pacers and speedsters alike showed up, each setting their own rhythm to the thrilling pulse of the race. And for those who preferred to soak up the ambiance, spectators were treated to a spectacle of fortitude and fun, making it a carnival of spokes and smiles.

A well-earned shoutout goes to all the riders who took up the gauntlet – your spirit is the true fuel of this event. Rounding off the triumph are the tireless volunteers and the maestro of the race, Mr. Joseph Miller, whose dedication ensured the event was nothing short of 'flawlessly stoke-filled.' But let's not forget the silent partners in this venture – the trusty two-wheeled steeds that bore the brunt and beauty of the race. They, too, deserve a round of applause and some well-earned Tender Loving Care back at the shop for carrying their riders to glory.
