Slush N' Spokes
Start Time: 2:00 PM
End Time: 7:30 PM
Location: On-Mountain
A downhill, human-powered bike race on snow.
Imagine staring down High Noon (a blue ski run) with 59 of your newest friends, about to Le-Mans start a bicycle race. You pick up your ride, throw a leg over, and you're off - elbow to elbow in the slush trying to make the first sweeping right hander. You hesitantly let off the brakes and start to gain speed. You're cruising, feeling good, but still need to make up more time so you let off even more. You're now maxed out, having the time of your life, fully pinned to the bottom. You see a natural feature and think to yourself - boost the roller and smile for the camera. This is Slush N' Spokes - the long-awaited return of bikes on snow at A-Basin.
