Festival
Three days of singletrack, sunshine, and the best mountain bike community on the Front Range.
So what is this thing?
THREE DAYS.
75+ MILES
OF SINGLETRACK. ONE UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND.
Demo the freshest bikes from top brands. Ride the Poker Ride from Inlet Bay at Horsetooth. Wander the vendor expo, grab food from local trucks, and share a beer with folks who get it.
Join a group ride, ride alongside a pro, take a skills clinic, or bring the family out. Camp on site. Whatever you want out of a weekend on bikes, this festival has it.
It's where bike brands, local and regional vendors, and the riding community all come together.
All proceeds go back into Northern Colorado trails.
Our signature event
The Poker Ride
Part scavenger hunt, part trail party, all dirt. The most fun you'll have on two wheels this year.
Ride the Trails
Hit five checkpoints across Horsetooth singletrack. Each one hands you a card.
Collect Your Hand
Five cards. Whatever you draw, you keep. No re-rolls, no whining.
Best Hand Wins
Roll into basecamp, lay 'em down. Top hands score gear from the sponsors.
Three days, all the goods
