Note:  This event weekend is a celebration of adaptive mountain biking and each year we are working on making it more inclusive for all riders. Skills Clinics are designed for new and developing riders, Pre-Jam and Race is for upper intermediate and advanced riders only, Party Laps are open to all riders (this is a bike park so the terrain is steep and the berms are big - please ride within your limits). Post ride socials and parking lot scene are for everyone!

Bike Rental:

Catalyst will have a limited number of Bikes available for rent. $100 for all three days.  Fitting will take place on Friday Afternoon or Saturday morning.  We ask that these rentals be saved for those who do not have their own adaptive bikes & wish to join the weekend.
