Event organizers have been building a new course since April and expect several hundred riders to participate in the event. With Open/Pro, Amateur, Junior and Open Women's categories there is something for every type of DH racer. Inside the Blue Mountain Resort village they offer something for everyone in the family. From the many shops, restaurants and pubs to their famous nightlife that never stops.

The event is free to spectators and they are encouraged to climb up alongside the specially designed race course to cheer on the racers and ring those cowbells. As always all competitors will have open access to ride all the other challenging downhill trails that Blue Mountain have to offer.

A special discount code (cres1117593) has been put up made available to all competitors and their families, simply visit www.sirbikealotracing.com and click the "East Coast Open" tab.
