The Bidwell Bump™ 35th Anniversary

The Bidwell Bump™ was first held in August 1976. It was a simple 'home grown' race announced in the "Clunker Craziness" flyer and attracted twelve participants, ten men and two women. 

2011 marks the 35th Anniversary for this race and looks to be the best and largest yet!

Held in Upper Bidwell Park located in Chico, CA, the event offers Cross Country ("XC") races for Pro & Expert Classes, a Sport (Intermediate) short course, and a Novice Course for those new to competitive mountain bike racing.

SAVEMART All-Mountain Challenge

Pro and Expert racers are invited to participate in the second running of the SAVEMART All Mountain Challenge competition.  Pro and Expert Class riders times in the XC race and a special stage SuperD held in the afternoon are combined to determine the winners. This event showcases the best of what Upper Park has to offer, testing riders and their bikes with the technical trail riding of The Bidwell Bump course and the awesome volcanic single-track descent of the SuperD course laid out on the South side of the canyon.

Presented by our local Chico Savemart, this year's AMC podium finishers will be awarded a cash purse as follows:

First Place
$250.00
Second Place
$150.00
Third Place
$100.00
