It was another great turn-out on Biggee, for week 4 of TNRL. It was great to see everyone out on the trail. It is always heartwarming to see the dads out there with their kids, urging them along, pushing them up the grunt climbs, and giving up their own race to instill the love of riding bikes fast in the dirt! And…the hand cyclists raced in their own race last night…these guys are awesome! Two more races remain in the series-get on up there if you can!

Butte 100
The infamous Butte 100 sufferfest handed out just a little less suffering this year, thanks to mother nature’s gift of pleasant temps. Records were broken as racers cranked their pedals faster than ever. I don’t mean to diminish the harshness of what is advertised as the toughest mountain bike race in the country though…kudos to all who left it all on the trail yesterday!

Thursday Night Race League on Big Mountain – Week 3
It was a blustery night on Big Mountain, July 26, for the 3rd edition of the 2018 Thursday Night Race League. A somewhat smaller crowd of race enthusiasts showed up last night, no doubt partially due to the fact that the Butte 100 sufferfest is happening on Saturday, and many were saving their legs for the effort! Those who raced were happy with the criss-cross course on the lower mountain, and once again, a great time was had by all at the after-race awards & raffle on the deck of the Bierstube, where beers were downed, burgers eaten, and stories shared!

Week One – Thursday Night Race League on Big Mountain
Week one of the ever popular Thursday Night Race League XC races garnered 60 dirt lovin’ racers, and a handful of tiny future world cup munchkins. A great time was had by all, young and old. A huge thank you to Whitefish Mountain Resort for putting on this series for several years now. Many participants are race league veterans from the Flathead Valley, but the races are definitely not just for locals. If you’re visiting the valley, and are here on a Thursday night from now thru August 16th, you should definitely come up and race! The after party and awards take place on the patio of the iconic Bierstube…great beer and burgers!
