The SendTown Short Track races at New Belgium Brewing’s Dirt Pile have introduced countless people to mountain bike racing since they began over 15 years ago. The atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, with a low entry cost and exciting racing that guarantees a great time. The beer garden and food trucks contribute to the Fort Collins vibe. Racing takes place on Tuesday nights, and be sure to arrive early for the free kid’s races.
