Event Description
The Dust Devil Mountain Bike Series has been a part of the mountain bike events calendar for nearly 20 years and DCB Extreme Adventures has been organizing it for the better part of the last decade. It’s been a pre-cursor to the State or MBAA series and the regular mountain bike season.
This year Muscle Milk and DCB bring you two fantastic days of mountain biking! And as always, there will be a FREE kids event for children 14 and under!
Our first stop is at the fabulous McDowell Mountain Regional Park. The morning will be dedicated to the ladies; our Wahine Warrior, all woman’s mountain bike event will start the day with CAT 1, CAT 2 and CAT 3 races… Bring out the family and enjoy the day! The afternoon will start with a BBQ and a new course for the marathon; then the guys run the cross country course for the afternoon. I think you’ll like the new event line-up!
