The Fox Bikepacking Race Recap

Overall Fastest Fox rider, Jared Leppert and 18-39 age group winner. Amazing work!

The day after an event usually has me filled with a lot of emotions. Today it is a love of cycling and the amazing people that take part in our events. The Fox Bikepacking Race continues to bring together the best parts of the machine, the people and the environment. Thank you for all who made it a success.

Special thanks to our incredible volunteers: Lara, Ron, Shawn, Deb, Rob, Sue, Connie and Clara. They bring not only years of experience but also the passion to share it with you. We are very, very grateful.
