FAMB Rider Series

About the Event

The FAMB Rider Series returns to Whitefish Mountain Resort in Montana on July 10th for a summer of racing and camaraderie that extends through August. This series isn't just about the competition; it's an invitation to connect with fellow mountain bikers over ice cream, beers, and some spirited races under the Flathead Valley sky. Each night offers racers from across Montana the chance to descend on Green/Blue trails as part of Whitefish Mountain Resort’s vibrant Downhill Mountain Bike trail network.
The evening air in July at Whitefish is crisp but warm enough for a comfortable ride without breaking into too much sweat. With an average temperature around 19.9°C, the sun sets later than usual, casting long shadows over the trails as riders wind through the forest and open meadows of Chair 2 and Chair 10 lifts. The resort’s surroundings are alive with the sounds of nature and distant laughter from fellow racers gathering for a friendly challenge.
FAMB Rider Series has been a beloved tradition in Whitefish since its inception, fostering community ties among mountain bikers through casual competition and social events. With hopes to attract around fifty riders per night, this series is more than just laps on the trail; it's about building connections within the cycling community of Montana. Racers can expect awards at each race night followed by a lively exchange of high-fives and stories under the stars.
