A Recovery Day From the Hotel
Here is a simple rhythm for the day after a big ride, all from your hotel base:
- Bike first: rinse the mud off at the bike wash station, then roll the bike back into secure in-room bike storage to dry.
- Heat: warm up in the shared sauna or hot tub to loosen tight legs.
- Cold: take a short, comfortable dip in the cold plunge. Ease in, and skip it if it doesn’t feel right for you.
- Easy movement: go for a short walk or an easy spin. Downtown Bentonville is about 2 miles away for coffee and lunch, and Crystal Bridges is about 10 minutes away.
- Evening: have an early dinner, stay hydrated, and get a good night’s sleep before tomorrow’s ride.
