The Dirty Bloom XC will take place about 20 minutes drive from downtown Wenatchee. The Dirty Bloom XC will follow the usual format with all the same categories competing for event podiums and overall series points. No running water or electricity available at this event venue, but Porta Potties will be provided.

All riders who participate in the Dirty Bloom XC will automatically be entered into the Dirty Bloom Fat Tire Criterium. The crit will take place Saturday evening in downtown Wenatchee in conjunction with the Tour de Bloom Stage Race. Crit categories will be: Open Men and Open Women. Each category will race separately for about 20min and the fastest finisher in each category will be awarded a coveted Tour de Bloom belt buckle. There will also be other random prizes and primes awarded during the crit and podium presentation to follow with the winners taking home a coveted custom belt buckle! Start times for the Crit are 6-7pm. Rules for the crit: all riders must race the crit on the same bicycle they rode in the Dirty Bloom XC (no component or tire changes are allowed!) All riders must have their DAS number plate on their bike and sign a waiver to be officially entered into the crit. Dirty Bloom crit results will NOT count toward Dirt Abides Series Overall—this will be a FUN event and we encourage all riders who race the Dirty Bloom XC to stick around for the crit!
