This Saturday, June 12th, the Yeti Beti Bash will be the first womens only mountain bike race to be held in Colorado. It is being held in Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood Colorado.
The race course is a 4 mile loop with ~300 feet of elevation gain per lap featuring rolling, non-technical terrain at Bear Creek Lake Park. It’s mostly singletrack riding with 4 short punchy climbs. There are views of Red Rocks and the surrounding park.
Under 14 will do 1 lap (4 miles), category 3 beginners will do 2 laps (8 miles), the category 2 sport racers will race 3 laps (12 miles), and the elite/category 1 racers doing five laps (20 miles). Don’t want to do it alone? There’s also a 3 person relay where each lady rides one lap.
In the afternoon, there will be a kids race. It doesn’t say whether it’s limited to girls or if boys can ride too.
The last I saw, they have 147 women racers registered. It’s too late for online registration but you can show up and register the day of the race.

Hey Rob – Wanted to let you know we had to reschedule the race because the trail got flooded out. We did have 180 women signed up (fantastic). It will now be on August 1 — please help us spread the word. We would love to get to 200.
