Hungry Bear Rider

“I loved how chill this race was. Everyone was super friendly, the scenery was beautiful and it was the antithesis to so many amped up races you could do. Plus pie!”

Hungry Bear Partner

“We were partners, not riders. Heard rave reviews from our lodging guests and bike shop customers. Well done! Race day, we rode Rock Lake backwards, toward the racers, all were smiling!”

Hungry Bear Racer

“This is such a wonderful event. I hope it doesn't lose it's charm as it grows in popularity!! The relaxed vibe is part of that. I love the people, the pie, the pizza, hanging out on the patio after the race. I love the course. It's such a great event.”
