NEW Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Festival

NEW Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Festival

by Cali Sammel / Thursday, 25 May 2017 / Published in News

In the Rocky Mountains West, a new mountain bike fest emerges, The Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest!

This isn’t a competitive event but an all inclusive community mountain bike festival to bring the riding community together to celebrate camaraderie, share beers and do some riding together, all in the spirit of lifting the sport to a higher place.

The Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest, is raising funds to support mountain bike trail projects not just in Canmore but in the entire mountain region from Golden to Kimberley and over to Fernie, British Columbia.

This push for more and better trails came from a grassroots movement led by Wanda Bogdane, founder of the Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest, who sees her event as the catalyst to support the greater movement of building trails that current mountain bikers want to ride.

Don’t miss out on the fun! Check the Festival Seekers post for more background and details on the event. In addition here are some highlights from the official Plaid Goat website;

Here’s what to expect June 23 – 25;

  • Demo-licious Days
    Sample the tastiest bikes of the season from the best mountain bike brands in the industry (add on required – $35/Fri. & Sat.), limited tickets available.
  • Local Craft Beer Hub
    Sample handpicked high quality beverages from seven hand-picked regional brewers and two distilleries, also a free photo booth and more activities.
  • Bike Rodeo
    Hosted by the Flannel Crew, this event features fun spectator events like huck-to-flat comps, adult tricycle races, costume crits and other ridiculous behaviour!
  • Family Friendly Non-Race Activities
    check out group rides, shuttles and coaching clinics.
  • Kids Only Hub
    Face painting, digger pits, a skills & drills area, colouring and more!
  • Secure Bike Valet
    Leave your car at home – your bikes will be safe while you test bikes and participate in activities.
  • Soapbox Central
    Check out tech talks on mountain bike specific topics like bikepacking, gear and trail building!

Don’t forget about the wildlife safety and trail building sessions demonstrating the festival’s commitment to responsible riding as well as partner run fun and friendly events like the TransRockies Race Series’ Rundle’s Revenge (June 24/25).
