For the first time, SMT is helping to organize this historic mountain bike event. In tandem with the City of Salida’s Parks and Rec department, we’ve planned a new 19-mile course featuring 2,330 feet of climbing (and descending) through the Arkansas Hills. Highlights include Cottonwood and Rusty Lung. Registration includes free food and beer at an afterparty in Riverside Park.

This race and Salida76 Gravel Grinder is a part of Salida Bike Fest, both taking place on September 17th.

Register for the Banana Belt!

The weekend also includes the Monarch Crest Crank on Sunday 9/18, which is a spectacular ride that raises funds for the Alliance. Why not make it a bike-filled weekend, and ride one event Saturday and the Crest Crank Sunday?
