Race Recap with Lance Haidet


Our friend Lance Haidet showed up in full form for BWR, and he brought his filmer along for the ride. Together, they put together an awesome video that covers the build-up, race-day action, and a spoken-word recap straight from Lance himself. Don’t miss it—check it out below.

 

The BWR Expo Vibes


We posted up at the BWR Expo for three full days, and let’s just say, we made the most of it. Shoutout to our beer sponsor, Lost Abbey, for keeping spirits high (and glasses full). We’ve embedded an Instagram Reel below that captures some of the good times, so scroll through the memories and keep an eye out for some familiar faces.

ALMSTHRE x BWR Shakeout Ride


The day before the big event, we hosted the ALMSTHRE x BWR Shakeout Ride—and it turned into something pretty special. Over 100 riders showed up to preview key parts of the course, connect with the community, and get those pre-race jitters out. It was the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
