Fears, Tears, and Beers Enduro 2024

I recently competed in my first mountain bike race, the Fears, Tears, and Beers Mountain Bike Enduro 2024, and I’m thrilled to share that I took first place in the beginner class! As a local resident, this victory means the world to me. The race features challenging big mountain riding with tough climbs and exhilarating, flowy descents. It's designed to test riders of all skill levels, offering a truly thrilling experience. After a day of intense racing, everyone enjoys a fantastic party back in town, followed by podium announcements and a charity raffle featuring a brand-new bike as the main prize. In summary, the Fears, Tears, and Beers Mountain Bike Enduro is a must-attend event for any mountain biking enthusiast. Winning my class in this race was an honor and an experience I will cherish forever and has helped cement my new love/addiction of mountain biking.

Oldest and Best

Oldest and best Enduro in the US! Sad to see the old timing system go but happy with the new timing system. This is by far one of the best events for the laid-back vibes. Not many other races where you can stick together with your group of friends and enjoy those moments together. That’s what racing is all about! Keep the live timing up. It’s a great way for people to compete with each other during the race when they’re not shooting for the podium. Thanks for all the hard work over the years the FT&B crew has been putting in!
