Race #3 of The Series. Known as the Front Range 60 last year, we have gone back to our roots and have put all the races under our historical name of Battle the Bear. Spectators and racers alike will enjoy the hot racing action and recreational rides and clinics going on at this fun venue. There will be industry expo with product sampling, and games for the kids. Bring your cowbells or noisemakers and see what Front Range racing is all about! Bring momentum to mountain bike racing season in Colorado by bringing the family and kids out to this annual spring ritual of off-road fun.
