It’s winter in Pagosa… and the forecast for winter bicycle events is looking good!
DUST2 is partnering with Pagosa Mountain Sports, The ‘El Camino Lounge’ at Motel SoCo, Pagosa Nordic Club, Brooks-I, the Wolf Creek Trailblazers, Pagosa Climbing Initiative and the Hot Springs Resort and Spa, to bring you a line up of fun winter events for the whole family!
Kick off the winter fun this Friday, January 18, at the Pagosa Climbing Initiative’s ‘Cabin Fever Festival’ where DUST2 will be hosting bike trainer competition! There will be hot drinks and fun prizes!
The very next weekend, DUST2 will be going all in for Winterfest, January 25-26! Grab the family and begin your Winterfest fun at the Pagosa Mountain Sports Winterfest Fat Bike Race at Yamaguchi Park. This family friendly, downtown course is groomed by the Pagosa Nordic Club, and all participants receive a fresh crepe and hot drink courtesy of DUST2! Be sure to cheer on the DUST2 Sleds On Res sled team, and then head down to the river to cheer for the DUST2 Penguin Plungers. DUST2 will be closing out the days festivities with our second annual Winterfest After Party at Motel SoCo with live music provided by Brooks-I. This year we will be crowning the day’s King and Queen of Winterfest! There will food trucks and drink specials.
Our last event for the winter season is our Annual Fat Bike Fun race on Forest Service Road 725, Saturday, February 22. This epic 4 or 7 mile course beautifully groomed by the Wolf Creek Trailblazers, is truly and adventure race. This year we are excited to announce that our Fat Bike Fun Race will be a part of the exciting line up of events at the all new Frozen Foot Festival put on by the Hot Springs Resort-more details to come!
The winter forecast is looking great, and we hope you will join us for the fun! For more information visit www.dustx2.com or call 970-398-1168.
