When: July 17-18, 2021
We are planing on hosting another round of Lost Trail Bike fest for 2021.  This year we decided to move it away from August and into mid-July, with longer days and hopefully lower smoke risks.  COVID-19 precautions will be more solidified as the spring turns into early summer. Bear with us as we figure all the fine details out for the schedule of event but the current plan is to have the same shuttle service from medicine springs road/gibbons pass road back up to Lost Trail Pass for Saturday with some sort of ride option on Sunday based on trails that have been cleared and group sizes.  Whether or not there will be a band remains to be determined based on the state of affairs.  

​
