The Canaan Mountain Bike Festival will return to Davis, West Virginia, for its second running on June 25-27.
The festival will open with a women's day-long riding tour and skills clinic led by retired pro Sue Haywood. It will leave from Blackwater Bikes at 10:00 am and go through the Canaan Valley Institute's property over a mix of open grassy meadows, wooded singletrack and the famous "moon rock". This is geared towards the intermediate rider who wants to try more technical terrain in a fun, supportive atmosphere.
On Saturday, group trail rides ranging from nice and easy to hardcore will start out of Blackwater Bikes. Donations of $20 suggested, with proceeds to going to Tucker Country Trail Maintenance. Sunday's action will feature trail maintenance led by the Tucker County Trails Club, a family and kids ride and a Bike Hash.
