Hail the Trail – BONUS RAFFLE

Posted on by Randy Gaa in Hail the Trail

Just like last year, Epic Rides is sponsoring an incredible fundraiser that benefits Muscle Powered and we couldn’t be more stoked about it.

The Hail the Trail raffle gives you the chance to win a brand new mountain bike worth over $6,000. But this year there’s an added bonus!

Enter the Hail the Trail Raffle and in addition to winning a mountain bike, you could win one of these AWESOME components from FOX.

34-sc-orange-spec-01                                            transfer-factory-kashima-internal

         Fox Factory 34 Step-Cast                                   Fox Transfer Dropper Post

Every purchase of a Hail the Trail raffle entry also qualifies you for a chance to win one of these great bonus prizes from Fox. To enter the bonus drawing, go to the main Hail the Trail promotion page, buy one or more entries, come by the Muscle Powered tent during the Carson City Off-Road with proof of purchase (a confirmation on your phone or printed receipt is fine) and we will get you entered. Every Hail the Trail ticket equals one chance for the bonus drawing, so more Hail the Trail tickets means more chances to win the seat post or fork.

We will draw for these prizes on Sunday afternoon (June 17) You do not need to be present to win.

The prizes will be awarded in the form of a certificate issued by Fox so you will be able to select the correct size fork or post for your needs.

Email Muscle Powered with any questions: info@musclepowered.org

Here is a video from last year’s Hail the Trail campaign. It gives you a look into some of the work that goes on behind the scenes to keep our trails in pristine condition.

Team spirit- Carson City Orthodontics – It’s been a wet and wild week! I rode at lunch yesterday and got hammered by rain- came to work soaked to the bone but smiling! Today we woke to hail and rode through rain then treated ourselves to hot tea and coffee. One war wound so far, and we are all feeling great from getting out and moving! Enjoying new bike paths and street crossings along 395 helping us get safely to our office this year.
