Week of the Moose

Start off the week of the Moose Wednesday night by entering the fabled Moose-Roubaix. This “race” finds itself often in the category of, “don’t ask, don’t tell” because of its clandestine nature. What to learn more? Come out to Spring Gulch Rd & Hgwy 22 Sept 17th for a 5:30pm start. Riders will follow the classic Moose-Moose course which heads north on Spring Gulch, turns right to the highway at Golf and Tennis, North again to the town of Moose, and finishes at Teton Village by way of Moose-Wilson Rd. No entry fees, no rules, no mercy. The best part is always the post race dinner and awards ceremony at where else? The Mangy Moose of course.

On Saturday Sept 20th head over the hill to Victor for the best family cycling event of the year. MooseCross will sure to entertain riders of all ages and ability levels and spectators alike! Thing is, ‘cross is bike racing for racers and non-racers alike. The events are short (typically 30 min), the courses are extremely spectator friendly (usually a mile or less), you don’t need a special bike (mountain bikes work great), all ages are welcome, and it’s not uncommon to see a few costumed riders! This all adds up to a very family friendly event that has more of a bike festival vibe than a hard core race scene. Just imagine, you bring the family down to the park; mom, dad, and the kids all get to race their own class while the rest of the family cheers and rings cowbells! No need to sacrifice the whole weekend, hire a babysitter, or spend months training. Just show up and have fun! The only thing that could top that off is an Octoberfest celebration right next door. Well, your in luck this Saturday in Victor’s Pioneer Park! Check out all the details at MooseCross.com. See you there!
