The Buffalo Headwater Challenge presented by Adventure Subaru is a three-day, all-inclusive, “off the grid” mountain bike festival. It includes 5 meals, libations, tent and RV camping, live music, and amazing riding, highlighted by the annual “Challenge” ride on Saturday, February 3rd, 2024. The “Challenge” ride consists of a 27ish mile semi-supported backcountry mountain bike experience with a few marked bailouts along the way. It’s a ride, not a race… just finishing is winning. The Challenge Plus ride comes in at 41ish miles and new this year The guided Gravel Challenge hits at 45ish miles. During your ride you will possibly encounter dj’s in the woods and of course the infamous grilled cheese and soup at the iconic fire tower. In addition on Sunday you will have the choice of joining another gravel group ride to the Buffalo Outdoor Center or using your wristband at The Buffalo Outdoor Center will get you free shuttles for the DH runs all day.
