Hotdogs and Handlebars
dates not announced yet
A community race series built for progression: green trails in the spring round with a Saturday skills clinic, then the classic blue trails in August. Low pressure, big vibes, and yes, hotdogs. The best first race weekend for a rider who has never pinned on a number.
Dates
A late-May weekend and an early-August Sunday
The resort has not announced the next dates. We post them in the Journal the day they land, and the email list hears first.
