What Is This?
Think about the most fun you’ve had with a group of riding buddies… then double it. This event is for the weekend warrior. The Washed Up Dirtbiker (like us). The guy who could have gone pro, but hasn’t raced in 5 years. It is also for those who race off-road every weekend. Simply put: this race is for all skill levels. The only thing we request is: you must bring the fun!
