Ride the Rockies Regional Stewards Program
Plaid Goat is creating a regional stewards program to support mountain bike associations; the groups dedicated to caring for the mountain bike trails across our region. In 2017 we developed the Ride the Rockies Society to support this vision. Learn more.

Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest is a novel mountain bike experience tailored especially for our region.

The activities at this three-day festival are different from other events in Western Canada as they align to the following pillars:

Regional collaboration
Celebration of our Canadian culture and the unique experience of mountain biking in the Canadian Rockies
Inclusion and FUN!
Social-economic reinvestment
Mission
To host the “Greatest Of All Time” (G.O.A T.) mountain bike festival that celebrates the culture of riding in the Canadian Rockies. This bucket list event will make locals proud and rally riders of all stripes from around the region and beyond.

Vision
For the Canadian Rockies to be globally known for having the “Greatest Of All Time” mountain bike experiences, with Plaid G.O.A.T. leading the way as a regional cultural and economic catalyst.
