NOD FEST 2007
Mountain Bike Heaven’s
World Famous International

NOD (GNARLY OLD DUDE/ETTE) FESTIVAL

11/11 thru 11/18, 2007 (Sunday to Sunday)

Sedona, Arizona, USA

In Sedona, it is a tradition to honor and give respect to the Elders. So every year, Mountain Bike Heaven celebrates their Elders: the NODs, or Gnarly Old Dudes, as they like to be called.

And what on earth is a GNARLY OLD DUDE you anxiously ask?

NODs are any mountain bikers who are 50 or near 50 and who are still out there being Gnarly. According to RAMA JON, founder of Mountain Bike Heaven (and the youngest NOD), being a NOD is not so much about age, but more about a State of Mind. The NOD FEST is about celebrating those who inspire us, and about expressing the wild, ageless Spirit that lives in us all.

Although Rama says its not about age, he is currently the youngest NOD among the crew. He puts a challenge out there to all mountain bikers around the globe to come ride Sedona and see what it’s all about! All those who believe themselves to be worthy of riding in Sedona's Red Rock Country with Sedona's Gnarly Crew are invited to come ride, and have their lives changed forever!

(And yes, there are also Gnarly Old Dudettes!)

When does this FEST take place?

The 2007 NOD FEST starts Sunday 11/11 and continues thru Sunday 11/18... seven days and seven nights of raw, honest Red Rock Country mountain biking!

PRIZES will be given to the OLDEST and YOUNGEST NODs.

There will be two rides each day, one in the morning for the early birders (8 or 9am-ish) and one in the afternoon for the mored layed back folks (time to be determined).

Please call ahead to let us know you will be riding. Note: there may not be a ride that day/time if no one shows up.

IS YOUR BIKE PROPERLY TUNED?

The mountain bikes of today are not like they used to be. Today's rugged, all terrain mountain bikes are sophisticated pieces of machinery, and when not tuned properly, you are riding way below your maximum potential. With full front and rear suspensions, dampening springs, air shocks, hydraulic disc brakes, and more, these bikes demand precise adjustments according to each rider's height and weight, as well as to the type of terrain you are going to ride.

At Mountain Bike Heaven's full service world class MTB Pro Repair Shop, our Shop Cats know what it takes to fine tune these most incredible instruments. Services offered include: front and rear suspension tuning, tune ups and safety checks, complete overhauls, hydraulic brake service, wheel work, complete assembly, modifications and more, including packaging and shipping! "We do it all!" says mountain bike Guru, Rama Jon, founder of Mountain Bike Heaven.
