The 20th annual Black Fly Challenge Bike Race, presented by Pedals & Petals of Inlet, will start from Indian Lake’s Byron Park at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 13.
Over half the 40-mile race goes through the wild and scenic Moose River Recreation Area with a mix of bikes found nowhere else. Competitors on mountain bikes, cyclocross bikes, tandems, and unicycles have completed the race.
A purse of over $9,000, with special prizes, will be given out at this year’s post-race party, which will feature live music by Showtime. Food, beverages and a bike raffle will also be available.
The winner of a custom Epic Black Fly Challenge fatbike, valued at more than $2,000, will be picked at the post-race party and trademark Black Fly Challenge logo merchandise will be available as well.
