10 a.m. Pump Track Skills Ride/Competition – at the Salida Pump Track (by
Marvin Park)
Event is FREE and open to kids of all ages!
Come show off your skills riding the Salida Pump Track course! The pump
track is a lot of fun and gives you a chance to see how far you can ride
without pedaling, how long you can balance on a bike and how many times you
can make it through the course without stopping. If you’ve never been to a
pump track before, this is your chance! We’ll have t-shirts and
participant ribbons to give-away to competitors.
Salida Bike Fest Chainless Race, to benefit Salida Racing, the Salida

5:00 p.m. – start time, on S Mountain
Bike and rider transportation from the cul-de-sac to the start line

So simple, yet so fun! No chain means no pedaling, so it’s all about
coasting and keeping your speed! Shenanigans and costumes are encouraged
and a wicked trophy will be awarded at the after party at Rivers Edge.
