More info release on the 48STRAIGHT Weekend in 3 weeks!
While the 48STRAIGHT professional mountain bike action at Diablo Freeride Park will no doubt be breathtaking, an equally dynamic line-up of events off the dirt will make for an electrifying weekend at Mountain Creek Resort.
Enjoy a visit through the Sponsor Alley and pick up some great free gear from partners including Jeep, Paul Mitchell, Trikke, Michelin, Cycleworks Bike Shop and adidas Eyewear. Jeep will host simulator rides, while Paul Mitchells professional stylists offer $15 haircuts with proceeds benefiting the Challenged Athletes Foundation. You can also test drive a Trikke scooter and receive a free safety check for your bike courtesy of Cycleworks Bike Shop.
Youll also want to hit the Beer Garden, featuring some of the most popular beverages from local and regional breweries before settling in to enjoy a FREE concert from Hells Belles, the world-renowned all-female AC/DC tribute band.
On the mountain, the event will be headlined by the 48STRAIGHT Mountain Bike Series, with some of the worlds top racers battling in dual slalom format for the richest payout in professional mountain bike racing. Local professionals and semi-pros will have a chance to grab one of the spots in the competition through an open qualifier which will be capped at 75 men and 25 women.
Non-elite amateurs and club riders will also have their chance to shine and earn prizes in the IndyCross competition, where they will try to tackle the racecourse and beat a blistering pace set by one of the top riders in the sport.
