About the CEL
Creating events for mountain bikers, by mountain bikers.
Our mission is to create unforgettable experiences, take riders to new places, and deliver the best weekend of their year. Every event showcases breathtaking trails and surreal landscapes that can’t be found anywhere else.
We want to share the places we love and give riders the opportunity to experience them the way we do.
