CYCLEFEST PRESENTED BY SUZUKI SET TO GO ON AUGUST 27-29 IN COPPER MOUNTAIN, COLORADO

NOHVCC will be on hand with the completely re-designed Adventure Trail

        Suzuki's CycleFest has really turned into something spectacular over the past few years. It is much more than the typical motorcycle and ATV shows that you see in the winter- you know, the ones with the brochures, the girls in skimpy outfits, and all the vendors hawking everything from no-fog goggle solution to crazy riding videos. Sure, CycleFest will have some of that traditional stuff, but instead of simply watching your new dream machine spin around on a spotlighted platform, you'll have an opportunity to demo ride next year's model street bikes, dual-sports, scooters and ATVs in the beautiful August weather and scenery of the Colorado Rocky mountains! CycleFest is set to go over the weekend of August 27-29 at the Copper Mountain Resort & Village.

          In addition, the three-day event will feature daily guided tours for street bikers and dual-sporters, some of which last the entire day. On many of the rides, cyclists have the option of going on their own tours, armed with all the info on what to see and where to eat. Entertainment also takes a front seat at CycleFest. There's going to be a Big Air Freestyle Show, two days of  AMA Pro Supermoto racing (the only doubleheader of the year), custom bike shows, pro rider autograph sessions, and nightly concerts. And of course there's the food with BBQ's and a Manufacturer's Party on the last day along with prize giveaways. For the technically-minded, there's even a few seminars being held over the weekend.

          The NOHVCC semi will be on hand for the event and as it stands right now, CycleFest will be the unveiling of the completely re-designed NOHVCC Adventure Trail. We encourage all of our supporters in the area to come out and join the fun and to get your first peek at the new Adventure Trail.
