Description
-Registration for this event will open May 14, 2026-
All You Can East Bluffet on Saturday, August 1, is a healthy sampling of the tastiest trails that East Bluff has to offer. With 6, 12-hour, and a new 1.5-hour Youth option, this endurance enduro is meant to be a fun way to push your limits on the epic trails at East Bluff Bike Park.
You start by pedaling to the top, where you spin a wheel that will tell you what trail you need to take down! We will have the expert class, which includes all the downhill trails. The intermediate class, which includes only blue trails. The youth class, which includes Bluejay Picnic and Sandhill Supper to Early Riser laps. All classes, include Youth, can sign up as a team if you have friends who are hungry, too!
How It Works:
For Expert + Intermediate Class:
● Start at the bottom of East Bluff (bottom of Flo-Rion, Dueling Banjos)
● Pedal to the top of East Bluff via the driveway
● Once at the top, play “spin the mountain bike wheel” for the random trail you (and maybe a few friends) have to take down!
● Punch a hole in your race plate to record this lap
● Have an absolute blast shredding down East Bluff!
● Check in with the race trackers at the bottom
● Repeat as many times as you can!
For Youth Class:
●Start at the bottom of East Bluff Campground Rd.
●Pedal up East Bluff Campground Rd to Early Riser and to the top of Bluejay Picnic.
●Once at the top, play “spin the bike wheel” to find out which trail you're shredding down.
●Punch a hole in your race plate to record this lap.
●Repeat as many times as you can in 1.5 hours!
Note: Pedal bikes only for this one! Open to riders ages 5–12. Parents are welcome to ride with their kids.
Trails
To climb up, you will take the East Bluff Driveway (for the brave-hearted, Magic Carpet is an option, too). But the important part is, of course, the downhill part! See the trail options below, and remember that the wheel determines which trail you ride down each lap.

Teams
In the Teams category, it’s all about working together! Ride alongside your friends and push each other to crank out as many laps as possible. Your team’s score is based on the average number of laps per rider, so every lap counts, and so does helping your teammates succeed.
There’s no cap on team size (just a 2-person minimum), so rally your crew and get ready to ride. For this event, you select that you would "like to join or create a team" when registering. Ensure your entire cooperative team is in the same event (6-hr or 12-hr, intermediate or expert).
Food!
Yeah, I know the event name has you thinking about food. We’ve got you (partially) covered, with scrumptious offerings courtesy of Fletchy’s Otter Belly Lodge, ready to go and warmed up right at the trailhead!
No bonking!! We’ll also have your favorite endurance snacks, consisting mainly of the food your mom didn’t let you have when you were a kid. Do not rely on our food to get you through the entire race, but we’ll have snacks to help stave off the bonk.
No E-Bikes!
This is an endurance event anyway, right? If there is a high demand for an e-bike category, let the organizers know, and we'll consider it next year.

Safety
This is a challenging endurance event. If you are too tired to safely complete another lap, please consider stopping. We will have an ambulance there as well as multiple bike patrollers, but we hope to not need those services. If you start in the expert class and feel as if it is unsafe for you to keep going, you can drop down to the intermediate event. Make sure you tell the volunteers at the bottom that you have changed to the intermediate event.
Volunteering
Our event wouldn't be possible without amazing volunteers like you! Whether you're helping with check-in or tracking racers, every role makes a difference.
