Summer Short Track series is back! Every Monday night, starting June 3rd, The Mountain Works Bicycles & Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Club (BMSTC) will host a FREE local race series that is open to all age groups. Come out for a fun night of riding at Mount Emily Recreation Area (MERA) on our quarter-mile course.

The race course is right near the main parking lot area of MERA. It features mellow rollers and banked turns that are fun for all ages. Our course is designed to help build basic skills and confidence for new riders. Balance bikes and younger riders do a single lap of the course and bigger kids + adults do multiple laps.

Our emphasis with this series is fun, building camaraderie, and getting the community together to have fun while riding their bikes!

Thank you to this year’s sponsors in High Country Realty Professionals and Austin Young: Allstate Insurance!
