4th Annual Wydaho Rendezvous

4th Annual Wydaho Rendezvous in Teton Valley

On Labor Weekend, mountain bike enthusiasts in the Teton Region, along with the top bike manufacturers in the industry, will flock to Teton Valley for the 4th Annual Wydaho Mountain Bike Festival. Grand Targhee Resort provides the venue for exploring some of the best trails in the Northern Rockies, featuring races, skills clinics, group rides, bike demos, live music and more.

Recently, we caught up with Jake Hawkes at Grand Targhee Resort who offered some insight to the festivities.

TMP: The Wydaho Downhill is the largest DH race in the Teton Region. What can riders expect? How are current conditions on the race course?

Jake Hawkes: The WYDAHO Downhill is a NEW take on our classic downhill course. We’ll be starting riders at the Rock Chuck intersection (Top of the NEW Bullwinkle Trail). This is the most strenuous section of the Sticks N Stones Trail which begins on a sheet of limestone, flowing through technical corners and on to the rock laden loamy soil in the wooded Lower Sticks N Stones section. There are rocks, airs and plenty of technical riding featured.

TMP: Aside from competitions, there’s a ton to do this weekend at the Ghee – what are you most excited for?

Jake Hawkes: WYDAHO Rendezvous and Grand Targhee Events Coordinator Andy Williams have put together outstanding schedule of events, clinics and demos. One race not to be missed is the Strider Races, where adults hop on a child’s strider bike without pedals and race down a portion of Otter Slide. Everyone involved is really excited to relax and enjoy the mountain music.
