2008 Punk Bike Enduro Announced

Posted: October 29th, 2008 by Karl Rosengarth

The 19th annual Dirt Rag Punk Bike Enduro is scheduled for December 14th, 2008 in Dorseyville, PA. What’s a Punk Bike Enduro? Maurice already addressed that very question in a previous article, where he wrote:

There was an article in an old copy of Fat Tire Flyer that told of an event called the Punk Bike Enduro. A bunch of friends gathered for a ride/race/party somewhere in Northern California circa 1980-something. It sounded like fun, so we put one together ourselves.

Those interested in conducting additional research, may wish to check out the reports from the 2006 and 2007 Punk Bikes. Those ready to mark up their calendars, read on:

AGAIN! this years PUNK will be self-supported. NO MOTORS! No support vans, no dirt bikes, just bikes, so you better be ready. In fact we’ve brought back the old PPG loop so the course will be longer and harder. Of course we will do our best to provide some beverages on trail but you’d be wise to bring something like a backpack with a mug in it, plenty of liquids, some warm clothing and FOOD. Just like the old days.
