Race Course
There are exciting changes to the course for Cat 1 and Cat 2 riders this year! Riders in these categories will descend Rosy Boa, a more technical and longer ridgeline trail than the prior years’ course.
THIS COURSE IS INTENDED TO BE EPIC! Racers should carefully evaluate their fitness and technical skills when choosing their category.
If you’re riding Bike and Brew for the first time as a Cat 3 or JR, you will be on the traditional course with a descent down Freund's flow trail, which consists of a spectacular but rigorous 8-mile loop, boasting four creek crossings, a challenging single track climb (totaling an 1800’ vertical gain!), and a RAD flow trail descent through spectacular scenery, complete with massive wall rides and berms. Not for the faint of heart, this course remains a test for anyone bold enough to challenge it!

From Highway 2 turn onto Chumstick highway (this is a left turn if you are coming from Stevens Pass, right if you are coming from Blewett Pass). Turn left onto Freund Canyon road (about 1-1.5 miles out Chumstick highway, if you go under the railroad track you have gone too far). Parking is on the right-hand side of the road. On foot, by bike, or free shuttle provided, go to where the pavement ends, and take a left. You will see the packet pick-up table, beer garden etc. Overflow parking is available at Cascades Mountain Bible camp .125 miles before the Freund canyon turn-off.
