Grab your bike and join in to a community of cyclists in Breck. One of “Breck’s” best kept secrets is its expansive backcountry trail network – a sprawling and interconnected system that can be accessed from anywhere in town within two minutes and leading to well over 1,000 miles of riding across Summit County. These gems are usually rewards for locals, or those “in the know”, but we’re about to introduce visitors to our secret stash during the inaugural Breck Bike Week, July 4-12, 2009.

Bookended by two unique and internationally recognized mountain bike races, the Firecracker 50 on July 4 and the Breck Epic stage race July 5-10, visitors will be able to watch, race or partake in all the non-competitive aspects of Breck Bike Week including led group rides, bike-in movie nights, a “meet the pros/legends/journalists” event, nutrition, fitness and open space best practices lectures, bike fits, kids’ races, Tour de France viewing parties, high-end bike demos and more.

The bonus is that all Breck Bike Week activities are FREE and open to everyone. In addition, this week will showcase the town’s 150 years of history as well as shopping, dining, lodging, other unique activities and temperate summer weather.
