Well have we got an event for you!!! The popular Tooth or Consequences MTB Festival is getting a bit of a makeover for 2018!

- Packet pickup for racers
- Vendor expo
- Bike skills competitions – can you wheelie, track stand or bunny hop…or leave a seriously long skidmark (with your bike)? You better be there…
- Singletrack poker ride – no need to bring your poker face here, just smiles as you cruise around the Lory & Horsetooth trail system collecting your hand of cards for a few fun prizes
- Music, food and beverages
- And…be sure to bring the kids because we’ll be hosting our Fall Take-a-Kid Mountain Biking Day event as well!!!
