I'm No All-Star - Can I Still Participate?

Yes! If you can roll a dice then you can take part in the main event! Everyone is welcome to register for free. Unlike most biking competitions focused on speed or skill, the High Roller Ride, as its name suggests, is all about luck.

Take your time cruising from station to station, rolling the dice. If your rolls add up to numbers drawn at the end of the day, you're a winner! Prizes range from gear, to cash to a brand new Rocky Mountain mountain bike!

Brush Up on Your Skills Before Hitting the Hills
