Shelden Mountain Bike Fest

New to mountain biking or an expert on the trails, we invite you to join us for our 3rd annual Shelden Mountain Bike Festival on September 28 at Stony Creek Metropark. Experience the thrill of Shelden Trails with fellow mountain bike enthusiasts, visit vendor and bike-related booths, eat some great food and sit around a campfire while listening to some great tunes!

Capture the moment forever at our Jump line section of the trail.  A professional action photographer can photograph you no matter how high you hit that jump!

Beginner mountain bike instruction, demos and group rides will ease new or young riders into the sport and introduce them to the trails. The GROM loop on the Shelden Trails is a beginner loop to introduce riders to the sport and to obstacles and it is handcycle accessible too! A handcycle demonstration and clinic will be available.

Rounding out the evening will be a group twilight trail ride, so be sure bring your bike lights!

Please note, participants are recommended to wear a helmet and must have their own functioning bike.

Pre-registration is only required for Bike Demo and Beginner Instruction. Registration link coming soon.
