AC/DC Award
Back for the 2023 Bloch & Chapleau Mountain Bike Town Series, the Vail Recreation District is hosting a mini-competition within the series. The AC/DC Award (ascent/descent) - Fueled by The Feed - combines racers' times from the Davos Dash uphill climb on June 14 with the downhill-only Son of Middle Creek Enduro on June 28. The racer with the fastest combined time in each category will be recognized at the Beaver Creek Blast race on July 19. All AC/DC winners will receive a gift package courtesy of The Feed!

All racers ages 21 and over will get a free beer from New Belgium Brewing Company, awards for the top finishers in each (adult) category will be given and everyone present will be entered in a raffle drawing with great prizes from our sponsors.
