BUMP events are mostly for club members only. If you’re interested, joining is not expensive. I appreciate every penny that goes to my home trails, and the folks that maintain them. Unless listed otherwise, all BUMP events are at Oak Mtn State Park.

ALL – 10/14 Tall Bike Joust XI, Cahaba Brewing Company, Birmingham. This is more of a premium spector event, but I believe you are welcome to sign up as well. If you didn’t know about this, it is one hell of a good time every year. Tall Bikes are welded together franken-bikes, and they are part of a modern replication with all the fanfare of jousting of ye olden times. It’s kind of like professional wresting meets jousting, at a bar.
