GRAVITY RACE SERIES #2
July 19, 2024 @ 3:30 pm - 7:00 pm
This unsanctioned downhill mountain biking series for passionate local riders looking for fun and community camaraderie is back for its 9th season! The series consists of six races held on a different downhill track at Mt. Bachelor’s Bike Park held on Friday nights, July 12 – August 23. Put your skills to the test by competing in all six races or just register for the race day that features your favorite trail. Keep in mind this is a series, so we’ll be crowning ONE overall champion for the fastest combined time in ALL races!
RACE #2 — LOWER RATTLESNAKE TO BLADE RUNNER
For the second race in the series, it’s time to turn up the heat. Racers will take Cone Run to the entrance to Lower Rattlesnake, a freeride black-diamond trail defined by its small rock drops through the trees. From there, riders will flow straight into Blade Runner, a narrow and technical intermediate single track.
Registration will be capped at 85 total competitors. Divisions are offered for Adult Men & Women, Youth Boys & Girls, and Groms (12 & Under). Adult races will be broken down into Elite and Open categories based on ability. All competitors will race on the same course, but it’s up to you to decide how extreme or enthusiastic you wish to be. Either way, be sure to turn your suspension into party mode because we’ll be featuring a live DJ for Bachelor Beats at each race! Competitors who are 21+ can enjoy a post-race beverage complimentary of 10 Barrel Brewing.
