OK local mountain bikers. Those of you who have been busier growing fat tires this summer rather than riding on them might need to be reminded that this Wednesday, Aug. 6, is the last of the town series races this season.
The final race of the 2008 Vail Recreation District mountain bike race series goes off at Beaver Creek at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
Can you believe it? What happened to the summer?
Just don't tell us it's going to be snowing soon.
At any rate, the Beaver Creek Blast launches at 5:45 p.m. (5 p.m. for Little League) Wednesday at the base of the Centennial Lift in Beaver Creek Village.
The Blast course is known to be one of the most competitive of the series, involving both plenty of climbing on the mountain's service roads and some fast, technical descents on the Beav's best singletrack.
Course lengths depend on level, with beginners and children going 6 miles and expert/pros topping out at 18 miles.
Post-race festivities will take place at The Coyote Cafe.
Find out everything you need to know about the race and take a glance at course maps on the Vail Rec District's page.
