A Whopper of a Thank You!

The 9th Annual Whiskey Off-Road was the biggest ever in its nine year history. This could not have been the case without all of you! The Whiskey requires incredible synergy of the mountain bike and the Prescott communities to make an event of this magnitude happen.

1,750 participants came from throughout the US and Canada - and even as far as South America, Europe, the Middle East and South Africa to enjoy a legendary course and a weekend of bike culture with amazing live music.

The lion's share of the success is due to the warm bike community embrace from the fine folks in Prescott, AZ. Also, a shared keystone in the architecture that makes this magical Whiskey weekend possible are our wonderful event sponsors. Please remember to shop'm when you need'm.
