Feeling salty? Join us on Oct. 8, 2022 for some hot (or cold, who knows?) desert racing action in the world's homeland of speed, the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover, UT! Or you can go slow, you know - you do you. BUT WE'LL BE THERE! We'll be hoofing it around the Toana and Silver Island mountain ranges above the playa of ancient Lake Bonneville, riding rolling gravel, sand, hardpack, and whatever you want to call enormous piles of wild horse poop. That's right! Horses, antelope, coyotes, deer, lizards, and strange human specimens all abound. You'll see the curvature of the earth and the limits of your own endurance, which looks a lot like the curvature of the earth. New this year, we'll have an Ebike ride for those of you who ever saw an ATV hill climb and wondered if your ebike could do it.

In addition to the beauty of the Basin and Range, we'll have food, music (depends if we can convince Joel to come back - ask him nicely if you see him), a rider's raffle, and - COVID and weather-depending - Wendover movie showings outside at the Historic Wendover Airfield Museum. For those of you feeling generous, we'll be hosting our annual Free Bikes 4 Kidz Utah bike giveaway for kids in the community! We'll pack whatever else we can into it - it's jazz, baby!

Join us or live forever mired in a tarpit of regret! Also, we love you. Promise.
