Show: 6PM $30 Music and mingling at 5:00 PM; films at 7:00 PM
Join us for an evening of bikes, community, and good vibes. The night kicks off with live music from 5–6:30 PM, followed by an inspiring lineup of bike films at 7 PM that celebrate trail culture and the spirit of riding in our region.
This event is a fundraiser benefiting Ridgway Area Trails (RAT), with proceeds directly supporting local trail building and maintenance throughout the community. RAT is a volunteer-driven organization and a chapter of COPMOBA dedicated to developing, maintaining, and advocating for sustainable, high-quality trails in the Ridgway area. Through trail work days, community events, and partnerships with land managers, RAT works to ensure our trail systems remain accessible, well-maintained, and fun for riders of all levels.
By attending, you’re not only celebrating the start of the riding season — you’re helping invest in the future of our local trails.
