Aspen, CO – The brand new Power of Four Mountain Bike Race set for Sunday, August 28 will combine the four ski areas of Aspen/Snowmass – Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk – into one challenging course. This event is a follow-up to the launch of the Power of Four series, which began with a ski touring race in March 2011.

The field will consist of solo racers and relay teams of two or four from the avid bike community that exists in Aspen, regionally and beyond. Racers will start at the base of Snowmass and end at the Sundeck at the top of Aspen Mountain.  With an estimated 11,000-foot vertical gain and 9,000-foot vertical drop over 33 miles of single track, demanding double track ascents and coverage over four mountains, this race is set to challenge even the fittest riders.

Registration is now open at www.aspensnowmass.com/reg.  Registration costs are $100 for solo racers, $175 for teams of two and $200 for teams of four.
