The Adaptive Mountain Biking World Championship seeks to create a competitive environment for all adaptive mountain bikers across a wide variety of riding styles and equipment selections. Hosted on Crested Butte Mountain Resort, the race weekend highlights some of the area's riding with trails that will challenge even the most experienced riders. Each stage tests a different set of skills, from climbing prowess to cross country loops to technical descending and climbing. Each day of racing provides riders with the opportunity to meet new people and grow their riding community with racers from across the country. Racers must provide their own equipment in good working order and be able to ride intermediate and advanced trails. All adaptive mountain bikes must have hand or foot pedals attached to the drivetrain in order to be used during the race. Lithium E-Bike Battery Storage Policy: If you are staying at an ASC property during your visit or if you leave your bike unattended inside an ASC property, the ASC requires the use of ASC battery boxes, or designated outside storage locations for lithium e-bike batteries.
