WINTER PARK, COLO., Sept 11, 2008 –  In celebration of our extended summer season, this weekend we are hosting the Trestle Mountain Bike Festival featuring live music, bike demos, the Junior Downhill Gravity Camp, huge savings on gear at the Sidewalk Sale, and the Super Downhill Race.   

Saturday, September 13, Winter Park's Ride School is presenting a downhill mountain bike experience exclusively for junior riders.  The weekend is designed to take your child's riding to the next level with top-notch coaches covering everything from fundamental skill development to trail-riding. Students will work in small groups ranging from one to seven students for six hours a day while working directly with Kona Bike's Willy Warren and his all-star coaching staff.

Sunday, September 14, the Winter Park Competition Center has added one more non-series race to the roster.  The Super Downhill Race is your chance to race on our big-time Crankworx course and see how you compare to the pros.  First-timers or young racers are encouraged to check out the shorter version of this famous course.  Pre-registration is $35 or $45 day-of for adults, juniors ages 18 and under receive $10 off registration fee.  Event registration includes all day access to Trestle Bike Park.  Visit the events page at www.winterparkresort.com for full details and registration.
