This 54‑mile Mountain View Loop ride circles the inner St. Francis National Forest west of US 65, delivering a tight, scenic run packed with motion. The route threads through dense forest, rolling hills, and a steady rhythm of curves that range from playful twisties to broad, sweeping arcs. Elevation changes rise and fall throughout the loop, giving the ride a lively flow without ever pushing beyond what newer riders can enjoy. It’s one of those rare routes that feels fun and engaging for every skill level — smooth pavement, great scenery, and enough variety to keep you smiling the whole way around.
