8 Reasons to Go to the Evergreen Mountain Bike Fest THIS Weekend!

Bike Demos. Vendors. Races. Kids' Events. Guided Rides. Skills Demos. Food. And More!

Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 9am-3pm

 

Get stoked! The Evergreen Bike Festival, powered by Carter Subaru, is THIS weekend—Saturday (9am-5pm) and Sunday (9am-3pm)!  

Maps and signs? Check. Food and Drink? Check (Spicy Papaya and Here and There Grill!) Skills rides and demos? Check. You and your riding buddies? ...question mark?

 

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about the big event—here are our top three answers:

  1. We’ll have demo fleets (18+ brands) both days.
  2.  Park entry is totally free, and clearing passes to demo and participate in activities are $10 for Evergreen members ($20 for non-members)
  3. No, we’re not scared of a little rain. We’re mountain bikers! 

We’ve packed both days with activities and the chance to demo all the new and hottest bikes, win some crazy prizes like a Turner RFX bike or weekend passes to Sun Peaks, watch the Jump Show from Sweetlines and Go Huck Yourself, enjoy the beer garden from Schooner Exact, snag a selfie with Nic and the Redbull MXT, and so much more (see the schedule here).

Bring the Kids!

We’ve got kids' activities happening all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday, with activities from Sweetlines, pump and mini-pump track challenges, Evergreen Instructor Rides, and games from Strider-riders up to junior racing. 

If you’re still learning yourself, we’ve got beginner guided rides, intermediate guided rides, women-only rides, and demo clinics!

How To Get There 

Carpooling makes the drive to Duthie fun and eases congestion. Check out our parking map here to get information on all the lots available.

The LDS Church has graciously allowed us the use of their parking lot on Saturday, but we must be out by 5pm. Also, there is NO LDS Church parking on Sunday. Remember to be respectful and park elsewhere Sunday.

If you’d like to shuttle, you can head up to the Beaver Lake Middle School parking lot where Compass Adventures will be shuttling riders and their bikes from 11-5pm on Saturday and 11-3 on Sunday. 

However you get to Duthie, we look forward to seeing you and hope you’ll bring some friends to enjoy the biggest mountain bike festival in all of Washington State!

As always, all funds raised go to support Evergreen's work protecting, maintaining and building trails statewide. 

P.S.- We still need volunteers, so if you’d like to work with some great people and get a clearing pass, raffle ticket, and beer (21+) free, sign up here!
