Bootleg Canyon Gravity & Demo Fest Details
PRESS RELEASE: Bootleg Canyon Gravity & Demo Fest
The Bootleg Canyon Gravity & Demo Fest will once again take over the Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Park in Boulder City, Nevada, on November 16-18, 2018. We are expecting many new riders to the area, so this year a few nice additions have been included with the usual Gravity Fest activities. We’ve put together a fun crew to help you explore the many DH trails, XC trails and even offer you some riding tips if you want them. If you haven’t done it, you’ve got to take the Historic 6 mile Gravel Ride that takes you downhill to some flats, through the historic tunnels and to the dam for some amazing views. A shuttle will be waiting to bring you back up!
We’ve made all the arrangements for you to come out and challenge yourself on some new dirt and trails not far from home. Our goal is to accommodate all riders and try our hardest to make your next adventure a great one!
We think Bootleg Canyon is beautiful on a bike and want you and your friends/family to experience it too.

Alchemy Bicycles will be making the journey to Bootleg Canyon from their factory in Denver, Colorado to show off and let you try their hand-crafted bikes. Factory rider and all-around nice guy, Cody Kelley will be easy to find and will be looking for riders to take some laps with. Come by the Alchemy booth, make some friends, grab an Arktos and take a run with us.

Imagine riding downhill for 5 miles on the paved River Mountain trail until you reach the flat gravel section through the 5 tunnels right next to Lake Mead. Then having us pick you up at Hoover Dam, so you do not have to pedal back up. Gravel Grinder tours provided by All Mountain Cyclery. Guided tours at 1:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. Expect to be back at the venue by 3:30 with a memory and stories to tell. Ebikes are welcome but may have to pedal back up to the venue. This unique tour starts and end right at the venue and is also included with your ticket. TICKETS
With the free camping, food, restrooms and showers, you can stay at the venue all 3 days! However, going into Historic Boulder City is just a few-minute ride away. Expect local deals on lodging and some after festival parties both in the camping areas and some local establishments.

Regarding shuttles for the event, we will be renting 26' stake trucks from Penske and lining the rails with carpet. The Penske trucks are nicer than the ones we used to rent from Ahern, but still a bumpy ride. These trucks take approximately 40 riders and their bikes at a time and we have 2 reserved so far. Until they put a lift in, we appreciate you all being so hard core. That road is rough and hang on.
SWANK!
