Join us in celebrating the camaraderie of mountain biking, test ride the latest bikes, meet new people, build skills, and enjoy all the beauty the area has to offer. Nightly events, music and parties. Fun for everyone.
*This event to benefit the Cuyuna Lakes Trail Crew, 10% of proceeds goes directly to their efforts*
Registrants will receive: festival pass, Scavenger Hunt punch card, demo access, guided ride access, skills clinic access, sticker, and complimentary beverages (n/a and alcoholic) at the Friday night Klunker ride and Sunset party.
(Ride a Klunker or Vintage MTB if you've got one)
The Expo and Demo takes place at the heart of the festival, the Historic Croft Mine Park, located right next to the Yawkey trail system. The demo / expo is a chance to interact with the people behind your favorite brands, test ride bikes, and gain product knowledge. Mountain bikes and gear have become huge investments and the aim of the expo is to help riders make informed purchasing decisions. In addition to the bicycle brands there will be food vendors, a makers market, etc.
