Outerbike states on their website that their event is, "The BEST bike demo event in the Universe." It's a bold claim but it just might be true. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's step back and give you an overview of what the Outerbike is all about.

Outerbike was designed to bring together all types of mountain bikers in a few top-notch riding locations around the country several times a year to test the latest and greatest bikes and gear on the market. If you’re a seasoned pro, try out the newest trail bikes on some long climbs and even longer descents. If you’re new to the sport see what the best wheel size is for you. Then try a few bikes before lunch and another in the afternoon while getting some professional advise right from the manufacturers’s staff. Still unsure? There's beer involved... Enough said.

With a foundation for the event laid, we can roll up the sleeves and dive in to the locations. Outerbike has chosen Sun Valley, Idaho, Crested Butte, Colorado, Moab, Utah and Bentonville, Arkansas as their 2019 host destinations. This will be the first visit for Outerbike to Sun Valley and we're still left blushing knowing that we've been included in the mix. Not since the inaugural unveiling of the Ride Sun Valley bike festival has there been such excitement for a mountain biking event in the Valley. This will be Sun Valley's opportunity to show off the goods. Here's what the Outerbike website has to say about our beloved area:
"With over 400 miles of singletrack spread throughout the valley, the mountain biking is some of the best—and most scenic—in the country. Bald Mountain now boasts America's longest purpose-built downhill and 3,100 feet of thrilling lift-accessed trails (including two new downhill rides!). For a milder experience, riders can head to the White Clouds trail network or take the leafy Wood River Trail, to any number of mixed ability trails in the Adams Gulch area."
Outerbike Sun Valley will take place June 21st - 23rd. Yes, that's right, it will be going down over the summer solstice. Your registration fee buys you access to the all the bikes, lunches, beer, prizes, and entrance to our evening party, not to mention a 3 day lift pass. It's time to start thinking about packing your chamois and making plans to venture to the 1st showing of Outerbike Sun Valley. It'll be the only way to know if Outerbike is truly "The BEST" demo in the universe, you'll have to check it out for yourself.
