Last year’s Invitational Bike Build-off broke new ground for build-off formats with it’s concept of ‘build it and ride it’. It was a great test of man and machine producing loads of excitement and good times along the 5 day tour. The bikes will be ridden daily and judged upon by event attendees via ballot boxes at every event stop. There will be a Daily winner per stop and well as a Grand Champion that wins the title with the most total votes over the five days of the tour.
Participation is easy. Become a LongRider and take part in all five days. Don’t have that sort of time? Join us for a day or two, or just stop by the evening most convenient for you. As a registered participant you will receive a custom goodie bag, exclusive parking, special activities, product giveaways, and daily navigational materials.
