Revelstoke's famed resort, known for being North America's longest vertical often gets attention during the winter season for its long and steep drop, but it can also be enjoyed by bike, and this is something that the resort has been busy developing. Revelstoke Mountain Resort's bike part is B.C.'s newest lift-accessed bike park and has both tech and flow trails. 

Biking enthusiasts are also gearing up for Revelstoke's biggest biking event of the year-Revelstoke Bike Fest which runs from September 5-8. The event kicks off with a fundraiser at Mount Begbie Bewing, on Thursday, September 5 with the Revelstoke Cycling Association.

The event is described as a head-to-head elimination challenge that pits riders against each other over mini-games including bike-sumo and the popular bike-jousting.

Saturday, September 7 will see 150 women race in Revelstoke's Women's Enduro race. The event aims to challenge racers but ultimately puts the spotlight on camaraderie and fun. "We believe in camaraderie, challenging yourself, finding your limits, giving back to the biking community and most of all, fun," said Revelstoke Cycling Association. 

The weekend wraps up with Revy 50 on September 8 at 8:30 a.m., commencing at Grizzly Plaza. The infamous bike race will return for its third year with 50 km of riding. An award ceremony will follow at Chubby Funsters.
