Tehachapi MTB BrewFondo, Oct. 19

Tehachapi Mountain Trails Association proudly presents the 4th annual Tehachapi Mountain Bike (MTB) BrewFondo. This year it will again be held at the Tehachapi Event Center & Rodeo Grounds, 415 N. Dennison Rd., Tehachapi on Saturday, Oct. 19.

Last year's event was a great success. The funds raised contributed to creating new trails, new trail signs, a soon to be installed shaded rest area with a table/bench and a nearby bicycle work stand with tools and a pump for those unexpected emergency bike repairs.

We anticipate a few hundred advanced, intermediate and novice mountain bike riders will enjoy the trails as we promote and celebrate Tehachapi's unique beauty and culture while raising funds to support our local Tehachapi Mountain Trails Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

There are four distances being offered. The rides are expected to last from two to five hours. Each of the routes lead away from the Event Center to the nearby Tehachapi Mountain Trails Association (TMTA)/Lehigh Trail system on the north side of Hwy 58, the very same trails that host the SoCal National Interscholastic Cycling Association Mountain Bike Championships (NICA). The trails are primarily pristine single track with breathtaking views of Tehachapi Valley.

In addition to the ride there will be a homebrew beer tasting that will coincide with the BrewFondo.
