Time for a little Truth or Dare to keep the week rolling! 👇

Truth: Drop a 🙌 or 😢 if you’ve signed up for at least one W@W race!

Dare: Share the W@W race series with someone who hasn’t come out yet or doesn’t know what they’re missing 🚵‍♂️

Whether you started racing back when Gandalf was yelling “You shall not pass!” at the climb, or you don’t know you’re a racer yet — there’s a category for you.

This series is all about fun, community, and getting after it, no matter your skill level. Come ride, meet great people, and make some stories along the way.

🏆 Persevering through an unbelievably rainy summer and a lot of patience we managed to get three races into the history books cementing new podium winners with bragging rights for another year.

🫶 This series wouldn't be what it is without such a positive and inclusive community so thank you to everyone that came out to race or spectate and encourage everyone on.

🙌 Also a huge thanks to all the volunteers that help make this happen year after year. From the registration tent to the crews setting up and tearing down the course, and keeping the Course Marshalls keeping the riders safe, it takes a dedicated team to pull these off.

🌧 Lastly as you have seen the storms have caused some destruction on the trails that needs to be fixed. Proceeds from the photos purchased go back into the Mid Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts - MORE Wakefield trail fund. Buy some photos that capture your stoke to keep the stoke of local racing alive for years to come.
