Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating day of mountain biking at the Hot Summer Freeride on Saturday, July 26, 2025! Set in the scenic Franke Park, this event invites solo riders and teams of up to four to tackle a challenging four-hour ride on a 7-mile loop of technical dirt trails. The race kicks off at 9:00 AM from the bike HUB, conveniently located near the gravel parking lot at the base of Derby Hill next to the BMX track.

This is not your typical race—there are no medals or trophies, just pure riding enjoyment and self-supported adventure! Riders must come prepared, bringing their own water and nutrition, as adequate hydration will not be available on race day. Make sure you arrive early for packet pickup and team setup between 7:30 AM and 8:45 AM, followed by essential race instructions. Feel free to bring your crew and set up your base camp; just remember to pack plenty of water and gear to ensure a fantastic day of biking. Join us for this unique summer challenge and enjoy the thrill of the ride while supporting the trail maintenance efforts of Summit City Singletrack!
