I you ever wonder why you should ever get into mountain biking, do the tree farm relay and you will understand. It is in my opinion the best mountain biking event around. Plus which race have you ever done where you get tequila shots on the ride.

Good luck  HOMETOWN CYCLING. 2nd place in 2010, is there a 1st place in your legs this weekend?

Yes, it’s back and better than ever!! Our 2010 race was a HUGE success, even with some really bad weather. We are hard at work planning the 2011 race, and we expect to have more fun, more surprises… and hopefully better weather!!!

We are pleased to announce the 6th Annual Tree Farm Relay Event at Lakeshore Park in Novi, presented by the MMBA, Team Tree Farm and Dark Horse Racing. This is the same format you have all grown to love… a unique 4-person team relay race! The course features lots of hills, passing zones and fun! This is a perfect race for the beginner looking to see what team / endurance racing is all about and for experienced racers looking to test their skills against rival teams. If you want to try an endurance race, but aren’t ready for the distance, this is the perfect event for you to see what the team racing concept is all about.

EXCITING: What a tour. If your like us in the shop you are stuck to the 2011 tour.  This year we have had some of the craziest crashes to the fastest recorded speed. This is truly a testament to the athletes and the equipment that we have access to today. There are still a few days left for the 2011 tour and I’m sure there are a lot of memories to be made. Here are some highlight videos from now and years past.

WARNING: Some videos contains graphic crashes and injuries
