Gnome Fest 13 is an all inclusive mountain bike event. Registration for Gnome Fest 13 includes a weekend of camping, camaraderie, bon fires, sweet Levis Mound trail riding and a series of fun events-The Famous Dirt Cat , Womens Ride with Midwest Celebrities , Dwarf Cycle Figure 8 Race, Beer Kiddie Pool Potluck, Night Rides, Slip and Slide?, Derby(s), Sand Creek Brewery Tours, Sunday Photo Ride for starters.
We do ask that you be cool and register for the event. "Poaching" the event is frowned upon, and dampens relations with the Forestry Department, the land managers of the trail system.
The Levis Mound Trail has been developed over the past 30 years by a small group of dedicated trail builders in cooperation with the Clark Co. Forestry and Parks Department. Through this effort, the trail has expanded to over 25 miles of singletrack with 15 miles machine groomed for winter riding. Levis Mound is arguably one of the top trails in the Midwest and we welcome all visitors.
A portion of your registration fee goes to paying for things like tents, prizes, t-shirts, food and beverages and insurance. As many of you know, Levis suffered a devastating fire this past year which destroyed the beautiful trail chalet. Our goal with GF13 is to help raise funds to help rebuild the chalet better than before. Proceeds will be donated to NATA who have taken a lead in this effort to rebuild. Your participation in a weekend of Gnomefesting will assure we will be successful, along with the benefit of having a great time with like-minded riders!!-in advance, THANK YOU!
