Are You Ready To Rumble?????

This Saturday is the big race! The Crew is working hard to prep the course and get the park ready for a day of fun (hopefully in the sun). With the weather acting more like Fall we are all very excited for this weekends race. The 5k course is going to be a very challenging course that you’ll never forget. The short track mtb race (designed with spectators in mind) is sure to produce some great high speed entertainment for the riders and the spectators. So….come on over to Bent Creek Park and either try our challenging 5K race, or throw on a pair of biking shorts and hit the mtb short track race. If you’re not the competitive type join in on the fun run or mtb ride. If none of these sound like fun you can always help cheer on the racers and drink a cold FREE beer from French Broad Brewing Co.. After the race there will be a pot luck dinner and a movie in the park. This is Bent Creek Park at its finest. Come be part of the exciting action and help a park grow. We look forward to seeing you all this Saturday.
