  FULL GAS FALL ENDURO SERIES Full Gas Enduro is grassroots racing at its finest. It’s pretty much a glorified group ride with a fancy timing bracelet. No pressure and no big production ... just riding bikes. Chill social uphills with friends. Good ol’ RACING on the descents. And a legit timing system to see just how fast you actually went. Full Gas is the perfect excuse to get together and ride some of the sweetest descents Golden has to offer. This fall, we’re kicking things off on Mt. 7. Ever race Psychosis? You might get a chance to redeem yourself on a section or two of this legendary course. Never raced it? Even better. Come see what all the fuss was about. We’re not going to tell you much more than that. Just come. It’ll be sick. It’ll be fun. And you’ll probably be surprised by some of the trails we have you riding.     COURSE INFO The courses will NOT be announced in advance. Don't even ask ;) Riders should be comfortable riding Black trails to participate. This isn't meant to be an intimidating race. If you're comfortable riding Golden's black trails, come give it a go! Each race will include timed enduro stages connected by untimed, social transfer sections. Ride the uphills with your friends, catch your breath, and then give 'er when the timing starts.     REGISTRATION $11 per racer in advance or $10 cash on site. IF we are sold out in advance of the event, we will let you know. We only have 50 timing chips, so don't dilly-dally. Your entry goes directly back to the Golden Cycling Club to help keep the trails running sweet, and maybe upgrade the timing system in the future so more people can join us next time. And nudge, nudge... if you haven't already, consider grabbing a Golden Cycling Club membership. Memberships help support the trails, events and work that make riding in Golden so darn good.

For our third instalment of Furious 5, we'll be returning to Premature for some Air DH-ing, steeze filled, yelp-inducing party laps. This is the week you can shralp to your heart's content, scrub as hard as you'd like and whip us all into a frenzy. It's time for Air DH; everyone's favourite. It's' super fun to watch and just that little bit sweeter to participate in. This year we are using Premature - it's close to town, flowing great and perfect to watch everyone else once you've thrown down your best lap. And what's more, this week and this week only- if you so choose- you can throw down 1,2,3 or maybe even 4 laps and we'll pick your fastest.  Prizes: Winners will be announced at the event, but prizing is by random draw! If you compete or volunteer, your name will get thrown in a hat for all kinds of great prizes. We have pedals, tires, lube, GCC Swag and so much more, so come on out!! This event is limited to 50 riders so please sign up in advance!  Volunteers are the backbone of these events and can also register below.

Week 4 will be an XC skills bonanza! Riders will ride as a group and play a game of follow the leader (leader to be determined, but expect a challenge!). For every time a rider puts a foot down, you'll lose a point.    For this F5, we’ll offer both intermediate and pro lines, with riders of all abilities welcome. Expect a lively group ride featuring plenty of excitement and a fresh kind of challenge. It’s a chance to test your skills, try something new, and experience another side of mountain biking!   This event is limited to 50 riders so please sign up in advance!  Volunteers are the backbone of these events and can also register below.
