Pine Needle Bike Festival to Support Rotary

May 27, 2011 | 11:54 AM

The Festival is on Sunday, June 12th in Little Red River Park.

The Festival is a 6 hour enduro mountain bike event….what! 6 hours, I can’t ride that long. No worries build your team of 4 or a team of 2 and conquer those 6 hours.

Those who are hardcore’s can do it all on their own as well. Download your pledge form and raise some money for a local charity.

The charity we have chosen this year is the Rotary Trail.

We challenge you to raise as much as you can, and we have some great prizes for the top earners….Trek mountain bikes, weekend accommodation in Waskesiu at the Lakeview Hotel & Suites, and jackets from The North Face.

The mountain biking is just part of the event. We will have live entertainment on the stage starting at 11:30am. Local band The Ensemble and Saskatchewan star Jeff Straker from Regina will be a few of the performances. Check out one of Jeff’s videos below or visit his website www.jeffstraker.com.

The Festival isn't just for adults, we are going to have lots of activities for kids as well. Bring them out so they can participate in the Bike Rodeo or cut them loose in the 2 jumping castles.

With all this action going on you will need some food. We are organizing some tasty food for participants and spectators and will have more info soon. We hope to see you there.

We are currently looking for sponsors of our event. If you are interested in sponsoring and would like some more information, please contact Mike Horn by email: fae.mike@sasktel.net or by phone (306)940-8930. We would be very excited to have you on board.
