2017 TORCA MTB Pachanga
PACHANGA - Spanish /paw*chong*guh/ (Noun)
Party or Bash�
A gathering of mountain cyclists on some of the most amazing unsung trails to ride the “best of the best” mountain sleds.
The camping/riding event that put TORCA on the map continues to evolve and each year it gets bigger and better! This year’s event includes three days of camping and riding, with Bike Demo’s, a Poker Ride, a “Funduro”, Freeride Friday (Downhill Runs), and a Skills Clinic. And while all the funds raised for this event go directly to support TORCA (a 501c3 non-profit supported solely by membership dues, grants, and fundraising), you don’t have to be a member to attend! (but members get a steep discount on entrance to the event. Hey, “membership has its privileges!”). All funds raised during this epic event support TORCA’s on-going efforts to maintain and rehabilitate Tucson’s trails, specifically those on Mt Lemmon.
Camping! Exclusive use of Molino Basin campgrounds! Campsite included in price of admission! Subject to first come first served. Additional camping can be found at: HERE
Bike Demos! The best in the business will be bringing their fleet of all-mountain steeds for you to try out on the best trails around. Committed to attend are: Ibis Cycles, Giant Bicycles, Liv Cycling USA, Pivot Cycles, Santa Cruz Bicycles, Juliana Bicycles, Specialized Bicycles, and Rocky Mountain Bicycles
Poker Ride! Everyone’s favorite all-mountain trails, Bug Spring and Prison Camp, will host a shuttled social ride. TORCA will have “dealers” strategically placed along the trail, ready to deal your cards. Best hands win sick prizes!
Fireside Cornhole Contest! on Saturday evening, SPONSORED by Five Ten
Ladies Only Mini Skills Clinic with Lindsey Richter of Ladies AllRide Mountain Bike Skills! Included in the cost of admission, learn from world-renowned Coach Lindsey. Space limited, sign up and reserve your spot today!
