Hey, mountain bike enthusiasts and pedal-pushers! Gear up for the first-ever Bertram Saddle Buster set for September 22. The Wright County Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with the Minnesota Mountain Bike Race Series, is inviting riders of all stripes to register for this novel adventure on wheels. According to the official announcement, "This is a new race that will provide a fun, exciting course for all level of riders" – it seems they're dead set on making a stellar first impression.
With the scenic Bertram Lakes Singletrack as the chosen battlefield, newbies and pros alike have something to look forward to. The course has been expressly designed to not only help beginners to seamlessly find their groove but also to push the limits of the seasoned riders. But don't get too cozy; you won't be cruising the entire Singletrack this time around. Instead, organizers are already tempting you to come back for more on another day for a full trail experience. "Riders will not be riding on the entire Singletrack Trail so we hope to see some of you come back another day for a trail ride," they say, already plotting to get you hooked.
This pedal fest offers more than just a chance to eat dust; it's a community event aimed at celebrating the great outdoors and the thrill of mountain biking. By throwing their lot in with the Minnesota Mountain Bike Race Series, Wright County Parks and Recreation hopes to not only give riders a memorable day but also to fully embrace the sport's potential for fostering camaraderie and an appreciation for nature's splendors.
If you are champing at the bit to join, you better hurry to register because spots are going fast. And it's not just because the race promises to put your skills to the test. The Bertram Saddle Buster could just be the beginning of a new local legacy, one that could turn to be a staple in the region's outdoor calendar. "The Bertram Lakes Singletrack has plenty of opportunity for new riders to find success and for experienced riders to find a challenge through its design," touts the Parks and Recreation team, already looking to cement the race's future as a must-do event.
