Spirit Bear Mountain Bike Gran Fondo

70 Racers take off for the neutral roll out to Patrick Creek road, in the first annual Spirit Bear MTB Gran Fondo, in Kalispell on May 22. Ben Parsons’ son, Rowen, rings the bell to cheer them on! The race was a great success and the weather was beautiful! Results are posted on our results page!

16 year old Max Kluck won the grueling two lap race (49 miles and 7600 feet of climbing) in a time of 3:50:42. This young man from Butte will be one to watch climb up through the ranks!
