Online registration is now open for the Beti Bike Bash. On June 12, 2010, women of all ages and abilities will converge at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, Colorado to take part in a little piece of mountain biking history.
Hosted by Yeti Beti with the support of Yeti Cycles and Bigfoot Productions, the first ever women's only event will offer several races for all ages and abilities. Whether you are a first time racer or a seasoned professional, this event is truly for everyone. The five-mile, non-technical, singletrack loop, with views of the surrounding Red Rocks Park, will see beginners, sports, and elites race two, three and four laps respectively. There will also be a three-woman relay fun race for those who want to experience the camaraderie of a mountain bike race with their friends.
"Mountain bike races are intimidating for beginner women for several reasons," said Sarah Rawley, Bigfoot Productions public relations and Team Yeti Beti rider, "Steep climbs, rocky descents, high altitude, and often you are gone all day from your family. We wanted to break down those barriers and offer something that any woman who rides would enjoy. With Bear Creek's close proximity to Denver and great trail system, it was a perfect venue for an event like this."
