On May 17th-22nd, 35 athletes descended on Puerto Vallarta to attend Fireride Festival, organized by Patrick Robinson and Gabriel Cuevas. With activities scheduled throughout the week, there was no shortage of entertainment or riding opportunities for the participants. Though riders faced some adversity with high winds, practices were held at sunrise and sunset - which produced some amazing photo ops - and set the stage for an epic finale, with most events run on the last day. Thank you for all the support of our volunteers, sponsors and spectators, and riders for helping make this a successful and memorable event!
