Bear Back Caption Contest

Bear Back Biking has chosen the finalists for their caption contest.  The winner will receive two nights accommodation plus dinner and breakfast for two days – and a sixpack!  

Not only does Bear Back have a sweet location, a wicked Chalet and perfect facilities for riders (tools, great bike storage, bandaids) they will also make you a gourmet breakfast and dinner every day you stay.  You pretty much can’t beat it.
