Come mingle with MTB advocates, trail stewards, and off-road cyclsits of all colors and stripes, and raise a glass to the 2010 riding and trail building season.

Local bike celebrity and cyclist-of-all-trades Joe "Metal Cowboy" Kurmaskie will be our emcee for the evening and IMBA Executive Director Mike Van Abel will provide the evening's keynote on "the current state of affairs and the future of mountain biking across the globe and in our backyard."

All with a tasty cup of Hopworks Urban Brewing organic beer in hand!

Awesome Land: Women Of Dirt is a unique look into the world of Downhill Racing, Dirt Jumping and Freeriding. This film looks through the eyes of the wondrous women that have helped grow the sport of Gravity Mountain Biking with their strength and courage. Other mountain bike films have overlooked these vibrant and dedicated women, but no longer!  http://bonesovermetal.com/womenofdirt/
