Midwest Mountain Bike Fest: A Community-First Weekend in Cuyuna

The Midwest Mountain Bike Fest is a non-competitive, community-first celebration of mountain bike culture in Cuyuna—built around riding together, trying new gear, skills progression, and the kind of weekend that feels like summer camp for mountain bikers.

Whether you come to demo bikes, sharpen skills, or simply soak up the energy, this festival is designed to help riders connect—to the trails, to the community, and to the brands that keep the sport moving.
 
 

What to Expect

A large expo and demo experience anchors the weekend, with guided ride options, skills clinics, and social events that make it easy to meet new riding friends and reconnect with old ones.

• Bike demos + expo at the festival hub
• Guided rides for multiple pace groups
• Skills clinics (101 / 201 / 301 style progression)
• Scavenger Hunt / punch-card challenge fun
• Friday Night Solstice Sunset Party

Location

• Ride + community, without the race pressure.
• Demo and talk to the brands you love—in person, on real trails.
