Skinny Blue

2017 marks Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance West Sound's fifth year for this fantastic mountain bike & beer festival — featuring Kitsap County’s finest brews and ciders! TRIPLE D-XC RACE • NIGHT RIDE • POKER RUN • LIVE MUSIC • FREE CAMPING • KIDS’ TRACK • BARREL RACE HUCK-TO-FLAT COMPETITION • FOOD TRUCKS • BIKE & GEAR RAFFLES • GIVEAWAYS • MUCH MORE! ABOUT THE BEER AND CIDER: Sponsored by Western Red Brewing, this year we've got eight local breweries and one cidery providing tasty local craft beverages. Our thanks to: Sound Brewery, Valhöll Brewing, Silver City Brewery & Taproom, Bushel & Barrel Ciderhouse, Bainbridge Brewing, Downpour Brewing, Hood Canal Brewery, and Rainy Daze Brewing! ABOUT THE RACE: The annual Biketoberfest race is back! We try to do something a little different each year to keep things interesting so this time we are including all the best trails in the system and going Triple D-XC style: Single start-single finish; no individual timed legs. But don't worry, we didn't take away the downhill fun! The course still features all three of the funnest downhill trails: Derailed, Priesthood, and Ranger — only this time you will be timed as you earn your turns getting to the top. We've maximized single track while providing just enough gravel road legs to provide good passing opportunities. So come on out and test your pedal mettle in the morning and join in all the fun and games at Biketoberfest in the afternoon! ABOUT THE MUSIC: This year we've got live music both nights! Great blues music from the Skinny Blue Band on Friday night, and back again for 2017 is Garage Heroes with their heavy blues-inspired rock originals and great classic rock covers. They'll help finish off Saturday's main events and kick off the final Biketoberfest party 'til the beer garden closes at 8pm! \m/
