SOCIAL EVENTS
After the riding, the party begins with a lineup of fantastic evening events. It's a great time for everyone to come together, have a good time, and support our local trail organization. Here’s what we have planned:
THURSDAY, June 13 | 5:30-9 PM
The Beanery (formerly The Depot), 446 Railroad Ave
NAECxFirefighter Community Fundraiser
Come party with us at The Beanery to benefit local athletics! Enjoy free live music by Loose Gazoonz, delicious Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwiches, and beer from three local breweries. It's a family-friendly event with outdoor seating, a full bar, and a regular menu inside the restaurant. The first 100 racers to show up will receive a free Shimano water bottle!
FRIDAY, June 14 | 8-11 PM
NAEC Pit Row, Silver Mountain Parking Lot, 610 Bunker Ave
Free Showing - Ritual Film Tour presented by Cannondale
Bring your camp chair and enjoy the best new mountain bike films of 2024! The movie starts at 9:00 PM (or as soon as it’s dark enough). Donations will be collected by the Lake City Trail Alliance (LCTA) to support local trails, and Cannondale will be raffling off items during the intermission. Don’t miss out!
SATURDAY, June 15 | 5-9 PM
The Beanery (formerly The Depot), 446 Railroad Ave
LCTA Fundraiser Party presented by Cannondale
Help us raise money for local trails while enjoying live music by Carli Osaki, delicious food, drinks, and Kawasaki bike races! We'll have a raffle with great prizes from Cannondale and a live auction with a Thule T2 XTR bike rack ($750 value). The Beanery will have an outdoor burrito bowl bar with smoked meats and veggie options. After the music ends, join us for head-to-head beer keg slalom racing on the Kawasakis!
SUNDAY, June 16 | POST RACE
Radio Brewing, 319 Main St
