New Location
The Cascades to Sound Chapter is so excited to be hosting this event at the Raging River State Forest. The festival began just down the road at Duthie Hill, and we’re over the moon to be able to expand it to this massive venue with a wide variety of trails. We will also have an airbag jump and skills zone in our base area.
Schedule
The festival will run Saturday, June 8th from 9am-6pm (with live music until 9pm!) and Sunday, June 9th from 9am-4pm. Check back on this page soon for a full event schedule, including live music performances.
Riding
Our 2024 Mountain Bike Festival is the Grand Opening of Raging River Phase 3! Trailbuilders have been hard at work during this phase of new and improved trails in the Raging River Trail System. New trails will be open to ride! Raging River has over 3000 vertical feet of world class trails, with options for guided rides, clinics with incredible coaches from all over the Northwest, supportive group rides for kids, women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC communities and more, as well as self-guided tour recommendations (aka our local staff's favorite loops!) if you're new to the area and want to explore!
Group Rides
Evergreen MTB and other vendors will be hosting a variety of guided group rides on Saturday and Sunday; including Evergreen’s Ride United, a welcoming space for historically marginalized folks.
Ride United is Evergreen’s initiative to create space for riders in the BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+ and seen and unseen disabilities community and their allies. Ride United group rides are set up to provide a ride that is designed for them. These are social pace, no drop group rides; intentionally designed to be shorter rides with plenty of stops on the climb and descent trails. Anyone who self-identifies under the “Ride United” umbrella is welcome on these rides.
Demos
We will have several major bike brands on site with demo bikes available for you to try. Please note, helmets and a valid Driver's License or credit card for collateral are required for demo bikes.
Music, Beer, and Food
To round out the weekend, we'll have coffee and food trucks (with plenty of options!) on-site all weekend, plus a beer garden for those age 21 and up. Don’t miss live music on Saturday night by The Salmonberries - fun for the whole family!
