Western New York Mountain Bicycling Association

Gear Up Mountain Sports is happy to announce our new Rocky Mountian bike rental / retail store located in Ellicottville, NY at Holimont.

I would like to offer our help in any way we can in preperation for and during this weekends festival. We have spent some time the past two weeks cleaning up trails on our property, cutting back brush, deadfall, mowing and building some bridges over wet areas.

This past weekends storm has made all trails very wet and muddy with flowing runoffs but should dry up without further rain hopefully.

If you require further assistance from us or if there is anything we can do to help make your festival a success don't hesitate to call us at Gear Up 716 699-5582. During the festival we are running a 50% off on all clothing and accessories as well as special pricing on our exsisting inventory of Rocky Mountain Bikes.

Our festival hours will be Friday 9:00 - 5:00, Saturday 7:00 - 5:00 and Sunday 7:00 - 3:00. We are located by the main chalet Expo lift.

Our staff welcomes you to HoliMont,

Indrek, Tracey and Angel

Fest plans are falling nicely into place. Preregistration numbers are strong. Looking like another year of 100+ fest goers.

There will be lots of bikes to demo this year and additional surprises for your enjoyment.

Trails are dry and in real good shape. Long term weather forcast is looking real favorable too.

Gonna be another good event. Come join us for the 7th annual Mountain Bike Fest sponsored by your friends at WNYMBA.

As one who hasn't been to the Fest since year #3 I was very impressed with where the Fest has developed. The relocation to the bottom of Sunset chair changes the whole character of the event and steps things up quite a bit. The vendor row was slick and offered a great way to demo bikes one may not normally try out. Seeing familiar folks was fantastic. And nobody sets a pace like the dynamic duo of ODB+Pat - the epic ride was a blast.

Let's hope Ronan and Sandra come back from St. Maartin again!

Biggest and best Fest ever! Team Orwat deserves major props for doing an outstanding job.

The Fest had everything... demo bikes, camping, group rides, campfires, group dinner, live music and even some moonshine (both types)! Best is seeing everyone gathered together to celebrate our sport.

Always amazed with what we can accomplish with such a small group of dedicated folks.
