Guided Heli-bike Trips
It’s time to take your cycling experience to new heights.
Spoked Events’ Heli-Bike trips give you the opportunity to take in the beauty of Northwest Arkansas’ rural roads from the ground and the sky. Hop in a helicopter bound for a secluded landing strip and pedal back with 3 of your closest friends or family.
All trips include personal guide, SAG support, meals, Skratch nutrition and of course your helicopter transportation. See the individual trip descriptions for details.
We can make modifications to our trip packages below such as route modifications, added rental bikes and equipment, additional catering or other shuttle services. Just ask!

Trip Options
Rockford grange ranch
This is one of our favorite trips due to the roads, scenery and our ability to customize an expedition just for you. We’ll catch a ride on an OZ Trails HELI to a private landing on Rockford Grange, a working ranch, in Washburn, MO where they raise hundreds of bison, red stag deer, elk, and ostrich. Choose the one day option and ride back to Bentonville on very rustic back roads or stay as long as you’d like in the fully furnished cabins taking time to explore the endless gravel roads. Hungry? Let’s cook up some bison burgers and have a couple cold ones on the bank of the private lake!
