The weekend is fast approaching and the weather is looking primo for a bike fest! You would not believe the amount of work that has gone into the trails at Balance Rock State Park in the past two weeks to get them ready for you to ride. Are YOU ready?

Party tents go up tomorrow as well as the floating bridge across the pond. You heard that right, a floating bridge across the pond. We ask that you have your eBike below a 10% charge when crossing to keep the frogs and fish from getting electrocuted. Just kidding, there will be a dedicated bubble bike for you to ride across on so you don't have to repack your waterlogged bearings. You may be good at crossing skinnies but have you ever tried a janky pallet bridge?

We have made some changes based on the low registration numbers so far but don't you worry, the people that do show up will be treated right and will be having a grand old time. There will not be food trucks as planned but there will be Odin's Pizza on Friday night and Old Man Jeff's BBQ on Saturday night. Kegs...check. Bouncy house...check. Disco tent...check. Pump track...check. Hoopla Olympics...check. Big ass bonfire...check. Short track races...check. Tequila Hill...check mate!

So pack up your tent, pump up those tires and get ready to Hoopla!

We are sad to announce that Hoopla 2022 is being postponed until next year. There will still be a bonfire on Saturday night and a Short Track race on Sunday but without permits and ambulatory services we cannot have the event. Most of these hurdles are stemming from staffing issues and are out of our control. All those that registered will receive a refund and anyone that still wants to come can do so free of charge with donations accepted. Next year will be the 4th year since the inaugural event in 2019 so it will be on par with the Olympics and FIFA World Cup!
