Afternoon Adventure
While everyone’s bikes were charging, Swagman treated riders to a float: an unusual combination of vanilla ice cream with the choice of Cannery Brewing’s Daring Oatmeal Stout or Sunblink Berry Sour, flavours decided on after rigorous testing by staff.
The Trailforks Adventure Challenge brought a twist of strategy and exploration. This eMTB orienteering event had riders navigating checkpoints across the network, with many determined adventurers tackling both the morning and afternoon rides—racking up as much as 50 km of trail time!
The social element of the afternoon was especially high at Checkpoint 3, where the Endless Biking Bacon Station served up sizzling snacks at the top of the trail network. The “bacon bee” was a hit, taking the sting out of the climb with every smoky bite.
Those who hit all the checkpoints earned themselves six bonus entries into Sunday’s grand prize draw, featuring:
• 🚲 Swagman Skaha 2 Bike Rack
• 🛠️ EZLift Lift Caddy
• 🔧 NOBL Custom Wheelset
• 🦊 Fox Fork of the Winner’s Choice
• 🚵 Endless Biking Coaching Package
Evening Vibes
The day wrapped up with a well-earned wind-down. Riders gathered to swap stories and toast their efforts with beverages from Copper Penny Distillery and Cannery Brewing—a perfect pairing for a day of dirt, sweat and smiles.
Up Next
The festival wraps with the eEnduro and the competition is heating up. With podium spots and bragging rights on the line, expect fireworks on the trails.
Stay tuned for the final chapter of this super charged weekend!
