Sponsored by Bike Brewery!

It’s time to give some love back to some of the Valley’s most used and abused trails! We’ll be meeting at the main parking area (by the golf course) at 9:00 am on Sunday November 4. There will be some tools, but it never hurts to bring your own.

DH race in Mission, 20-21 October

Posted on 14th October 2007 / Category: Events, Mission, Red Mountain / Author:Tom

There’s a new DH race course on Red Mountain! Race the 2007 Arduum Challenge, 20-21 October!

arduum: steep place, the steep

challenge: something that by its nature or character serves as a call to battle, contest, special effort, etc.

The trail “Arduum” itself started out as two trails built “back in the day” We hiked these trails, looking for a good DH training course. When we realized that the combination of the two would give us everything we wanted (steep, techy, off-camber, rooty, and some flow) we built a connector and started reworking them. The finished product was this trail. We rode it a few times, had some friends ride it and we all agreed, we couldn’t keep it a secret, we had to share this one. We decided to host a race. Just like that??

Nope. The decision to do the race happened six weeks ago. Lots of hoops to jump through, things to look after, trail to perfect but we did it. The “Arduum Challenge” has come to life. Take this as your call to battle one another and “The Steep.”
