NOTICE:
Highline Lake State Park will be unavailable for us to race at this June, as the Reservoir is being drained due to a Zebra Mussel issue. We are currently looking for a different site together with the City Of Fruita. We will update the site and registration as soon as we have an update mid February.
Friday, June 1st Skills Clinics and Saturday June 2nd Race Day:
The 2024 Western Slope Edition will be featuring an all new, adventurous high desert course.
TBD due to a venue change: We hope to include a lake, mountain biking trails ranging from easy to difficult, cliffs rising out of the water, camping, a family run, a 5 and under balance bike race for the young ones.
