Unique, Old School and Epic!
For over a decade, the hot topic that Mudslinger Events has had requests to produce is a 50 miler to go along with our July High Cascades 100.
With that being said, we can't do both on the same day in July, and 100 Miles is a lot for many.
The 4th Saturday of September at Wanoga Snow park, we are proud to offer a singletrack laced MTB race in Beautiful Bend, Oregon.
The event's name refers to the Cascade Mountains and the Volcanos part of a 25,000-mile Volcanic area in the Pacific Ocean Basin called the Ring of Fire.
Embrace the lava and all the fantastic singletrack and the opportunity to have one great late season race and finish with a smile.
Sign up now!

SAFETY
Downed riders are always a concern whether the race is an XC or Road event or any situation that may come up where you may need to stop to attend to a rider. Safety is #1 with Mudslinger Events, as we have basic first aid onsite and Ham Radio support on course from local group ARES of Bend. Please remember that the roads may have an official or emergency vehicle on the course, so stay alert to your surroundings and ride safe!
All roads and road crossings are open to traffic and open to other trail users, including hikers, bikers. We do our best to let people know a race is happening, but ultimately it is your effort to stay out of trouble.
Make sure to assist a rider and check on anyone that goes down. Over the years, we have had thousands of laps, and have had only a few collarbones or injuries requiring medical attention beyond standard first aid. This is a testament to the caring attitude and general nature of mountain biking and a softer landing in most cases.
The usual way a crash goes is:
Riders are coming into the lap point or aid station and telling race personal that someone is messed up and not moving or holding an arm or knee. The next rider says the person is sitting up, followed by the next person says he/she is on their bike, then riders say nothing as this person is OK and comes to the aid station to get a ride out or continues. Now that’s the normal situation, in the case of an accident that appears to be dangerous, please get the riders plate # to report to official race personnel the on course and approximate distance to.
It can take up to an hr or more to get to your location depending on where you crash, so use caution!
Please let us know if you need to seek medical attention beyond a scrape at the finish area and if you do DNF (Did not Finish) please report your plate number to the officials at the finish. Please let us know also if any member of your team is traveling to Bend to seek further medical support for a cut or issue beyond basic first aid for scrapes and cuts or an ice bag that we will have on site.
Please stay hydrated!
Helmets required anytime you are on your bike at this event.
