Is there anything more fun than racing your bike downhill with a bunch of your close friends? How about racing your bike downhill with a bunch of your close friends on the snow! (fingers crossed that theres still some snow, if not, we'll get muddy, and that's fun too!)
Come out and join us for an afternoon of bike racing at the beast of the east, Bousquet Ski Area. Rumor has it the snowcat guys are going to push a bunch of snow around for us to rip around on, think jumps, berms, and whatever else we can think up.
Post race we are going to have an awards ceremony in the lodge at Bousquet, complete with some mountain bike themed movie screenings and a raffle to benefit a local pumptrack!
Come out and join us whether you're racing or not, we'll have a full demo fleet of bikes to play around on, music blasting, and a bunch of sunshine to soak up on the deck at Bousquet Ski Area!! Party in the lodge to follow the racing. Yeeehaaawww 👍👍👍
